that they are represented and voted at the meetings. If you have not already
mailed your proxy card, please take a moment to sign, date and mail the enclosed
duplicate proxy card promptly in the return envelope provided for your

For the reasons set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement dated November 25, 1996,
your Board of Trustees and Board of Directors recommend a vote FOR each proposal
on the meeting agenda.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
Yours truly,
