Notes to the Financial Statements

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1994 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of March 31, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and statement of changes in
partners' capital (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Results
of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1994, and no
material contingencies exist which would require disclosure in this interim
report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's cash balance at March 31, 1995 was $697,001, largely
unchanged from $689,002 at December 31, 1994.  The Partnership's cash, along
with funds generated from future timber and timberland sales, are expected to
provide sufficient liquidity for operations.

The Partnership's accounts receivable balance decreased from $73,539 at
December 31, 1994 to $4,180 at March 31, 1995.  The decrease resulted from the
collection in 1995 of net proceeds from the December 21, 1994 closing on the
sale of timberland on the Gray tract.  

The Partnership currently owns approximately 6,400 acres of timberland
outright, in addition to a 76% share in the Laurel View tract (the "Joint
Venture"), a 1,709 acre tract located near Savannah, Georgia.  While the
long-term trend for timber and timberland prices has been upward, prices are
subject to cyclical fluctuations.  Despite the general strengthening of the
real estate construction market, the market for raw land in the area where the
Partnership's tracts are located continues to remain stagnant.  As a result,
the Partnership is only pursuing select timberland sales at this time.  It is
likely that any increase in the land's value will be largely attributable to
the aging of the premerchantable timber stands.

While the Laurel View tract could be sold as timberland, its primary value
would be realized if sold as a development site due to its coastal location and
close proximity to major interstate highways.  The initial step in marketing
the tract, the formulation of a land use plan, was recently completed.  The
plan is currently being incorporated into a more comprehensive marketing plan.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's operations resulted in net losses of $19,846 and $48,998 for
the periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease in net
loss is primarily attributable to income generated from the Joint Venture.

Interest income totalled $10,235 for the period ended March 31, 1995, compared
to $5,352 for the corresponding period in 1994.  The increase is primarily
attributable higher interest rates in 1995 earned on the Partnership's average
cash balance.

The Partnership recognized income from the Joint Venture of $15,948 for the
period ended March 31, 1995 as compared to a loss of $6,363 for the
corresponding period in 1994.  The joint venture income in 1995 is attributable
to income from timber sales recognized in the first quarter of 1995 in excess
of ordinary operating expenses.  The joint venture loss in 1994 was
attributable to a lack of timber sales and the recording of ordinary operating
expenses. 

Property operating expenses were $27,288 for the period ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to $21,403 for the corresponding period in 1994.  The increase is due
to higher management fees attributable to the increase in the appraised value
of the Laurel View tract at December 1994.

General and administrative expenses for the periods ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 were $21,456 and $29,972, respectively.  The decrease is primarily due to
a decline in audit and legal fees.
