Dear Sirs/Madames:
We have reviewed the Form 12b-25 of the ENSERCH Corporation Employee Stock
Purchase and Savings Plan (the "Plan") dated June 30, 1998, requesting an
extension of time to file the annual audited report required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We agree with the reasons for the
extension, which are due to difficulties in obtaining the financial
information from the Plan's trustee.
Our audit of the financial statements of the Plan for the year ended
December 31, 1997, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
is currently in progress; however, because required information is not
available, we have not been able to complete our audit. The procedures
that we have performed do not constitute all of the procedures necessary
to express an opinion on the financial statements of the plan as required
by generally accepted auditing standards. As such, we are unable to
express on opinion on the Plan's financial statements to be included
in the annual report on Form 11-K by the prescribed due date.
Yours truly,
/s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP
