Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Martin Midstream Partners L.P.

In connection with the foregoing request for acceleration of effectiveness, the Registrant hereby acknowledges the following:

• the Registrant may not assert the staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Mr. Schwall and Mr. Gibson
