Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for Patapsco Bancorp,
Inc. and, under the date of August 1, 1997, we reported on the
consolidated financial statements of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. as
of and for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. On March 11,
1998, our appointment as principal accountants was terminated.
We have read Patapsco Bancorp, Inc.'s statements included under
Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated March 17, 1998, and we agree with
such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree
or disagree with Patapsco Bancorp, Inc.'s statement that the
change was approved by the Board of Directors or that Anderson
Associates, LLP was not engaged regarding the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of
audit opinions that might be rendered on Patapsco Bancorp,
Inc.'s consolidated financial statements.
Very truly yours,
/s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
