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 June 30, 1995, the results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, and the statement of partners' capital (deficit) for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.  Results of operations for the periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The following significant event occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1994, which
requires disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01,
Paragraph (a)(5).

        The Partnership completed sales of 1,234 acres of timberland in early
        August 1995 for gross proceeds of $678,445 and a net gain of
        approximately $106,000.



Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 and Results of Operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's cash balance at June 30, 1995 was $743,961, compared to
$689,002 at December 31, 1994.  The increase is attributable to cash provided
by operating activities and proceeds from the sale of 74 acres of timberland
during the second quarter of 1995.  The sale resulted in the Partnership
receiving gross proceeds of $42,071.  The Partnership's cash, along with funds
generated from future timber and timberland sales, are expected to provide
sufficient liquidity for operations.  

In addition to the aforementioned sale of 74 acres of timberland during the
second quarter of 1995, the Partnership completed sales of 1,234 acres of
timberland in early August 1995 for gross proceeds of $678,445 and a net gain
of approximately $106,000.  These sales will be reflected in the Partnership's
1995 third quarter financial statements.

The Partnership's accounts receivable balance decreased from $73,539 at
December 31, 1994 to $0 at June 30, 1995.  The decrease resulted from the
collection in 1995 of net proceeds from a December 21, 1994 closing on the sale
of timberland from the Gray tract.

Prepaid insurance totalled $846 at June 30, 1995, compared to $5,922 at
December 31, 1994.  The decrease is attributable to the recognition of
insurance expense for the first two quarters of 1995.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses totalled $22,836 at June 30, 1995,
compared to $49,505 at December 31, 1994.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to the payment of professional fees related to appraisal,
inventory evaluation and engineering services, and the timing of the payment of
the Partnership's annual audit fee.  Additionally, the balance at June 30, 1995
reflects one-half of the 1995 estimated real estate taxes, whereas the balance
at December 31, 1994 includes the total 1994 real estate taxes.

Due to affiliates increased from $78,980 at December 31, 1994 to $111,006 at
June 30, 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to the timing of
payments of managements fees and, to a lesser extent, an increase in management
fees as a result of the increase in the appraised value of the Laurel View
tract in December 1994.

The Partnership currently owns approximately 5,100 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 General Partner has prepared
a land use plan which is being incorporated into a more comprehensive marketing
plan.  While preparations are underway for marketing the tract, it is difficult
to predict when conditions will be best suited for a sale as it largely depends
on the pace of development in the area surrounding the tract.


Results of Operations

The Partnership's operations resulted in net losses of $17,063 and $36,909,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to net
losses of $49,287 and $98,285, respectively, for the corresponding periods in
1994.  The decreases in net loss are primarily attributable to income generated
from the Joint Venture and gains recognized on the sale of timberland during
the second quarter of 1995 totalling $10,826, compared to a loss on the sale of
timberland during the second quarter of 1994 totalling $8,916.

Interest income totalled $10,983 and $21,218, respectively, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to $5,504 and $10,856, respectively,
for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The increase is primarily attributable
to higher interest rates in 1995 earned on the Partnership's average cash
balance.

The Partnership recognized income from the Joint Venture of $6,069 and $22,017,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to net
losses of $6,396 and $12,759, respectively for the corresponding periods in
1994.  The joint venture income in 1995 is attributable to income from sales of
timber from the Laurel View tract during the first six months 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 $27,575 and $54,863, respectively, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to $21,348 and $42,751,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The increases are due to
higher management fees attributable to the increase in the appraised value of
the Laurel View tract in December 1994.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 were $18,421 and $39,877, respectively, compared to $18,696 and $48,668,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The decrease for the six
month period is primarily due to a decline in audit and legal fees.
