("JJTrust") (collectively "the Trusts").

Jaindl Farms,  3150 Coffeetown Road,  Orefield, PA  18069.

as the sole proprietor of Jaindl Farms and the principal
shareholder and chief executive officer of Jaindl's Inc.
Both of these businesses have their principal offices at

     (d)    During the past five years neither Fred Jaindl,
nor Mark Jaindl have been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

Item 3.

     Fred Jaindl has business interests ranging from turkey
farming to real estate development.  In the regular course
of these businesses, he borrows funds from various lenders
to finance their daily operations.  Since most of these
businesses are structured as sole proprietorships and
corporations controlled by Mr. Jaindl, he typically
reinvests back into his operations most of the net profits
generated by these entities or by any personal investments
he routinely makes.  From time to time he recovers the
equity invested in his businesses either by taking
distributions from current profits or by financing assets
held by one of his business entities, thereby allowing him
to realize a portion of the equity accumulated in those
assets without having to sell them.  The personal funds he
has used and may use in the future to purchase shares of
common stock of the Company have been generated from the
equity and profits he accumulates in his various businesses
as described above.

     Fred Jaindl and Mark Jaindl have in the past borrowed
funds to purchase investments or to finance their other
business interests.  Fred and Mark Jaindl may in the future
borrow funds to purchase additional shares of the Company's
common stock or to finance their other business interests,
which loans may be secured by pledges of the Company's
common stock.

     On December 27, 1999, Mark W. Jaindl sent a letter to
the President of the Company and to the Board of Directors
recommending that the Company hire an investment banker to
review alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which
alternatives should include a possible sale of the Company.
A copy of the letter is annexed as Exhibit A.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Fred Jaindl, Mark Jaindl, the ZJTrust and the
JJTrust own 13,948, 30,000, 7,000 and 3,600 shares
respectively of common stock of the Company.  In total,
these 54,548 shares constitute approximately 9.99% of the
545,481 shares of Company common stock outstanding as of
August 10, 1999.

     (b) Fred Jaindl, Mark Jaindl, the ZJTrust and the
JJTrust have the sole voting and dispositive power of
13,948, 30,000, 7,000 and 3,600 shares respectively of
common stock they hold.

Paul C. Green, President
Massachusetts Fincorp, Inc.
70 Quincy Avenue
P.O. Box 699226
Quincy, Massachusetts  02269

Dear Mr. Green:

I  am disappointed that the Board of Directors ("the Board")
of  Massachusetts  Fincorp, Inc. ("the Company")  failed  to
implement  a stock repurchase plan ("the Plan")  as  of  the
date  of  this letter.  During a conversation with you  last
June and in a letter that I wrote to you on August 20, 1999,
I  emphasized  that the repurchase of shares  would  have  a
positive  impact on book value, earnings, and  market  value
per  share,  with  only a slight reduction  to  the  capital
ratio.
Why  would the Board be reluctant to establish a Plan?   The
only answer I came up with is that the Board is preparing to
grant  options to directors and/or management and  are  more
concerned  about keeping the market and exercise price  low,
than they are about enhancing shareholder value.
Since  management and the Board have failed to  implement  a
Plan,  forgoing an opportunity to improve shareholder value,
I  question their ability to lead the Company into the  next
century.   I  therefore recommend that  the  Board  hire  an
investment   banker  to  explore  alternatives  to   enhance
shareholder value.  One of the alternatives should include a
possible sale of the Company.
I look forward to your response.


Sincerely,



Mark W. Jaindl
