               Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1997-1
               File No. 333-14293-01

          Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Enclosed herewith for filing on behalf of the trust fund (the
          "Trust") created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
          dated as of March 1, 1997 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement")
          among Lehman ABS Corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), The
          Provident Bank, as Seller (the "Seller"), as Document Custodian
          (the "Document Custodian") and as Master Servicer (the "Master
          Servicer"), and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as
          Trustee (the "Trustee"), is a Current Report on Form 8-K (the
          "Report").

          The Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1997-1 (the
          "Certificates"), will consist of two Classes (each, a "Class") of
          senior Certificates: The Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2
          Certificates (collectively, the "Class A Certificates") and one
          Class of subordinated Certificates (the "Class R Certificates").
          Only the Class A Certificates (The "Offered Certificates") are
          being offered hereby.

          The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate the entire
          beneficial interest in a pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of closed-end
          fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans")
          consisting of two groups ("Loan Group 1" and Loan Group 2",
          respectively, and each a "Loan Group").  The Class A-1 Certificates
          (the "Group 1 Certificates") will represent undivided ownership
          interests in Loan Group 1 which consists of Mortgage Loans with
          fixed interest rates.  The Class A-2 Certificates (the "Group 2
          Certificates") will represent undivided ownership interests in Loan
          Group 2 which consists of Mortgage Loans with adjustable interest
          rates.  The assets of the Trust will also include certain other
          property.  The Mortgage Loans are secured by first and second deeds
          of trust or mortgages primarily on one- to four-family residential
          properties.  All of the Mortgage Loans will be acquired by Lehman
          ABS Corporation (the "Depositor") from Provident.

          The Offered Certificates were registered under the Securities Act of
          1933, as amended, by a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No.
          333-14293-01).  As a result, the Trust is subject to the filing
          requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
          as amended (the "Exchange Act").  The Trust intends to fulfill these
          filing requirements in the manner described herein:

          The Trust will file, promptly after each Distribution Date (as
          defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), a Current Report on
          Form 8-K in substantially the form enclosed herewith, including as
          an exhibit thereto the applicable Distribution Date report.  Each
          such Current Report will also disclose under Item 5 any matter
          occurring during the relevant reporting period which would be
          reportable under Item 1, 2, 4 or 5 of Part II of Form 10-Q.

          The Trust will file a Current Report on Form 8-K promptly after the
          occurrence of any event described under Item 2, 3, 4 or 5 thereof,
          responding to the requirements of the applicable Item.

          Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Trust will
          file an annual report of Form 10-K which responds to Items 2, 3, and
          4 of Part I, Items 5 and 9 of Part II, Items 12 and 13 of Part III
          and Item 14 of Part IV thereof, and include as exhibits thereto
          certain information from the Distribution Date reports aggregated
          for such year and a copy of the independent accountants' annual
          compliance statement required under the Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement.

          The Trust will follow the above procedures except for any fiscal
          year as to which its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of
          the Exchange Act have been suspended pursuant to such Section.  In
          such event, the Trust will file a Form 15 as required under Rule
          15d-6.

          Should you wish to discuss the above filing procedures, please call
          Judy L. Gomez at (714) 253-7562.
