Re:1st Franklin Financial Corporation 

Request for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC Accession No. 0001376474-19-000075) and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC Accession No. 0001376474-19-000076) Filed on April 5, 2019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On April 5, 2019, 1st Franklin Financial Corporation, a Georgia corporation (the “Registrant”), filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC Accession No. 0001376474-19-000075) and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC Accession No. 0001376474-19-000076) (together, the “Post-Effective Amendments”).

The Post-Effective Amendments were inadvertently tagged in EDGAR with the incorrect submission type.  Consequently, pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant respectfully requests the immediate withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendments filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 5, 2019 and respectfully requests that the Commission consent thereto.  The Registrant refiled the Post-Effective Amendments with the correct EDGAR submission type “POS AM” on April 10, 2019.   

Because the Post-Effective Amendments were not declared effective by the Commission, no offers or sales were made pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendments.

Thank you for your assistance in this request.  If you have any questions regarding this letter or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Mark L. Hanson of Jones Day, counsel to the Registrant, at (404) 581-8573, or by e-mailing him at mlhanson@jonesday.com.

Very truly yours,

1st Franklin Financial Corporation
