To the Partners
First Wilkow Venture


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of First Wilkow
Venture (the "Partnership") as of June 30, 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations for the three month and six month periods then ended
and the statement of cash flows for the six month period then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the
Partnership.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31,
1999, was audited by us, and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our
report dated February 22, 2000, but we have not performed any auditing
procedures since that date.

Because we were not engaged to audit or review the statements of operations for
the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and the statement of
cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 1999, we did not extend our
procedures to enable us to express an opinion on the results of operations and
cash flows. Accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
