Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Meyers Investment Trust on behalf
of Meyers Pride Value Fund
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Meyers Investment Trust, a Delaware
Business Trust (the "Trust"), on behalf of Meyers Pride Value Fund, a series of
the Trust (the "Fund"). The Trust has requested our opinion as to the legality
of the 133,466 shares of beneficial interest, $.00001 par value per share (the
"Shares") of the Fund which were issued by the Fund during the Trust's fiscal
year ended May 31, 1997. During the Trust's fiscal year ended May 31, 1997, the
foregoing Shares were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
We understand that you are about to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, a notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 making definite the
registration of 133,466 shares of the Fund sold in reliance upon Rule 24f-2
during the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997.
We have examined a certificate of the Secretary of the Trust to the
effect that the Trust or its agent received the consideration for the Shares and
we have examined such other documents as we have deemed reasonably necessary,
including the Trust's Declaration of Trust , the Trust's By-Laws, minutes of the
meetings of the Board of Directors, and the post-effective amendment number 2 to
the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File 811-7581 and 333-02111) filed in
connection with the offering of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted
to us as certified or photostatic copies.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that the Shares registered pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the Investment Company Act,
were, when issued for payment as described in the Trust's prospectus for such
respective Shares, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of this opinion as part of the Trust's Rule 24f-2 Notice.
We express no opinion herein as to compliance with any state or federal
securities laws. We are admitted to practice in the State of New York; we are
not admitted in the State of Delaware. Accordingly, for purposes of rendering
this opinion we have assumed that the laws of the State of Delaware are
substantially similar to the laws of the State of New York. The opinion
expressed herein has been rendered at your request and is solely for your
benefit and may not be relied upon in any manner by any other person or by you
for any other purpose.
Very truly yours,
/s/ MAYER, BROWN & PLATT
