Dear Limited Partner:

              Augusta Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") has received and
accepted your tender request. Enclosed is a statement showing the breakdown of
your capital withdrawal and the manner in which it is being distributed, in
accordance with the tender offer.

              In the event that you have tendered your entire investment, the
remaining funds which are owed to you will be paid within 5 business days
following the conclusion of the 1997 year-end audit, according to the terms of
the tender offer. We expect the audit to be completed by the end of February,
1998. This investment will no longer appear on your CIBC Oppenheimer monthly
statement, beginning with your February statement. However, the balance of your
tender request owed to you, in accordance with the terms of the tender, will
appear on your month end statement as a non-interest bearing note, unless you
have elected to receive the note directly. If you have requested to receive the
note directly, the note must be returned before you can receive your final
payment (see attached note). Therefore, please return this note to us no later
than February 27, 1998.

              Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact PFPC
Inc., our Administrator, at 1-888-520-3277.

                                               Sincerely,



                                               /s/ Mitchell A. Tanzman

                                January 8, 1998



Dear Limited Partner:

In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, you have been paid 95% of the
amount requested to be tendered and accepted by Augusta Partners, L.P. (the
"Partnership") either by check, if requested, or wired directly into your
brokerage account at CIBC Oppenheimer. The balance or contingent portion of the
repurchased interest is valued based on the unaudited net asset value of the
Partnership as of December 31, 1997, and is subject to year end audit
adjustments which may cause a change in the value of the contingent portion of
the repurchased interest. The enclosed promissory note represents the portion of
your tender request which is subject to such year end adjustment and will be
paid in the same manner you designated in the Letter of Transmittal.

However, since you have requested to receive the promissory note, you must
return this original note prior to the disbursement of your final payment. We
cannot accept a fax of this promissory note. Until the original is returned you
will not be paid the balance of the amount you tendered.

Please return the promissory note to PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 576, Claymont, Delaware
19703, Attn: Karen Castagna.


                                Sincerely,

                                /s/ Mitchell A. Tanzman
