Re: Stewart Information Services Corporation – Request for Extension of

Response Time to SEC Comment Letter dated September 12, 2013

Dear Mr. Rosenberg:

We refer you to the letter to Stewart Information Services Corporation (the “Company”) dated September 12, 2013 (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, 2012 (File No. 001-02658).

Following up on the telephone conversation I had with Mr. Donald Abbott on September 16, 2013, we are writing to confirm that we have requested an extension to respond to the Comment Letter until October 3, 2013.

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
