     File No. 000-52604
     ----------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of this firm's client, Smith Barney Tidewater Futures Fund L.P. (the
"Partnership"), I am transmitting herewith for filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") this letter in response to the Commission
Staff's comment letter dated November 9, 2007 (the "Letter") to the
Partnership's Registration Statement on Form 10 that was filed with the
Commission on April 30, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the
Commission on October 18, 2007 (the "Registration Statement"). The following
responses are numbered to correspond to the numbering of the Letter. For your
convenience, the Staff's comments are indicated in italics, followed by the
response of Citigroup Managed Futures LLC, the general partner of the
Partnership (the "General Partner"). Page numbers in the headings refer to page
numbers in the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on October 18,
2007.

1.   We note that your response has been submitted and signed by your counsel.
     Please provide on a separate letter from, and signed by an officer of, the
     Company a statement acknowledging that:

          o    The company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
               disclosures in the filings;

          o    Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
               comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
               with respect to the filings; and

          o    The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
               proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
               federal securities laws of the United States.

A separate letter from and signed by an officer of the General Partner has been
filed along with this response letter.

Financial Statements and Notes
- ------------------------------

Note 4 Trading Activities, page 51
- ----------------------------------

2.   We note your disclosure that "Fair values for all other financial
     instruments for which market quotations are not readily available are based
     on other measures of fair value deemed appropriate by the General Partner."
     Please tell us the reported value of your contracts whose values are
     determined based on models and other valuation methods or valuations made
     in good faith by management, and how you consider expanding your disclosure
     to explain those valuation methods. Also, explain to us how you considered
     the disclosure requirements in FR-61 as it relates to your trading
     activities in contracts that are not traded on an exchange.

Substantially all of the Partnership's trading is in exchange traded futures
contracts for which daily settlement prices are available.

While the Partnership may trade off-exchange forward foreign currency contracts,
such trading, when it occurs, constitutes a relatively minor portion of the
Partnership's overall trading. Off-exchange contracts are traded in currencies
for which there is generally a liquid underlying market. To date, all
off-exchange contracts traded by the Partnership have been in currencies for
which an exchange traded contract also exists. Thus, such contracts are valued
by reference to the settlement price of the exchange traded contract and the
General Partner has not had to employ any other method of valuation.

The General Partner believes that the Partnership's disclosure complies with the
requirements of Regulation S-K, Item 303 and the Commission's statement
regarding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition in FR-61
(January 22, 2002). The General Partner believes that the Partnership's current
disclosure, in light of the small amount of off-exchange instruments traded,
provides both a "full explanation[], in plain English," and disclosure that is
"useful and understandable" in accordance with the guidelines set forth in
FR-61. In light of the above, the General Partner does not believe that
additional disclosure is necessary.
