Re:	iShares® Silver Trust

Post-Effective Amendment to Registration Statements 333-177170 and 333-184107

Form RW Application for Withdrawal

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), iShares^® Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company acting in its capacity as the sponsor of the iShares^® Silver Trust, hereby requests the immediate withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statements referred to above (the “Amendment”) filed on November 14, 2012, together with all exhibits thereto.

The Amendment was incorrectly tagged as a POS AM filing instead of a POSASR filing. A correctly tagged submission has been filed.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Very truly yours,
