	Re:		Stewart Information Services Corporation— Request for Extension of Response Time to SEC Comment Letter dated December 4, 2008

Dear Mr. Rodriguez:

We refer you to the letter to Stewart Information Services Corporation (the “Company”) dated December 4, 2008 (the “Comment Letter”) containing the comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2008 (File No. 001-02658). Following up on the voicemail exchange I had with you on December 12, 2008, we are writing to confirm that we have requested an extension to respond to the Comment Letter until January 16, 2009, as the Company needs additional time to formulate thorough and appropriate responses to the Comment Letter.

We appreciate the Staff’s cooperation in this matter.

Please telephone me at (713) 625-8761, with any questions or comments you may have.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Brian Glaze

Brian Glaze
Principal Accounting Officer
