Re:	SCHEDULE 13G ON BEHALF OF W-H ENERGY SERVICES INC
      FOR THE MONTH ENDING AUGUST 31, 2006





Dear Sir or Madam:


Babson Capital Management LLC is filing today an amendment to
Schedule 13G through the EDGAR system as required by Section
240.13d-1(b) to reflect a change in beneficial ownership of
the outstanding stock of the above-mentioned issuer.

Please note that the shares which were previously held were owned
by various investment advisory clients of Babson Capital, which may
have been deemed a beneficial owner of the shares only by virtue
of the direct or indirect investment discretion it possessed pursuant
to the provisions of investment advisory agreements with such clients.

A copy of the Schedule 13G is being sent to the issuer as required by
Rule 13d-7.

Comments or questions concerning the above may be directed to the
undersigned at (617) 761-3779.


Sincerely,



// Robert J. Guerin //
   ROBERT J. GUERIN
