This letter relates to the comment letter from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) dated June 27, 2011 (the “Comment Letter”) regarding the above-referenced filing of Republic First Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”).

The Company is working to respond to the Comment Letter and has commenced work on a letter responding to the Staff’s comments in consultation with the Company’s advisors.

We are grateful for the Staff’s assistance in this matter.  Please do not hesitate to contact me at (215) 430-5850 with any questions.
