                                        GROUP


                                4550 Montgomery Avenue
                              Bethesda, Maryland  20814

                                     March 1996

     Dear Investor,

     Thank  you  for  investing   in  Calvert  Social  Investment  Fund   Equity
     Portfolio.  On May 15, 1996  we will hold a special meeting of shareholders
     to approve  a new Investment  Subadvisory Agreement  between Calvert  Asset
     Management Company, Inc. and Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P.

     Loomis, Sayles,  the  current subadviser  for  the  Equity Portfolio  is  a
     limited  partnership,  controlled  by New  England  Mutual  Life  Insurance
     Company.  Plans  are currently underway for  The New England to  merge into
     Metropolitan  Life Insurance  Company.  The  Board of Trustees  of the Fund
     has been advised  that the merger of The  New England and Metropolitan Life
     is  anticipated to have no effect on the investment management operation of
     Loomis, Sayles.

     Under the  Investment Company Act  of 1940, the  merger of The New  England
     and  Metropolitan Life is considered a  change of control of Loomis, Sayles
     and  results  in  the  termination  of  the  current subadvisory  agreement
     between Loomis, Sayles and CAMCO.

     Question  1  requests approval  of a  new investment  subadvisory agreement
     between CAMCO and  Loomis, Sayles.  The  new agreement is, in  all material
     respects,  identical  to  the  current  subadvisory  agreement.    The  new
     subadvisory agreement would  take effect at the  time of the Merger  of The
     New England and Metropolitan Life.

     We encourage  you to vote and  return your proxy  as soon as  possible.  If
     you have any  questions or concerns please call your financial professional
     or Calvert at 1-800-368-2750.

     Sincerely,

     /s/ Clifton S. Sorrell, Jr.
