EXHIBIT ITEM 9 (a) (13)





						February 3, 1998







Dear Shareholder:



	As a follow-up to the material we mailed on 

January 20, 1998, describing our Modified Dutch Tender 

Offer, we thought it might be helpful to review with 

you some of the most commonly asked questions.





Q.	Are there any commissions involved if I tender 

my shares?



A.	No.  S&T will repurchase your shares if you 

decide to tender, and there will be no brokerage 

commissions involved.  This could result in a 

substantial savings to you and you may want to contact 

your broker and inquire about the commissions charged 

if you sell the stock in the open market.





Q.	If the stock is trading at $48.50 (closing price 

on February 2, 1998), why should I tender my shares?





A.	Prior to the announcement of S&T's tender offer, 

S&T's stock traded in the range of $39.75 to $44.50 

during December 1997 and January 1998.  Since the 

commencement of S&T's tender offer to purchase up to 

1,500,000 shares of stock at a price not less than 

$46.00 nor in excess of $49.00, the stock has traded 

in the range of $45.75 to $49.00.  The current trading 

range for S&T's stock represents a premium ranging 

from 5% to 12% over the stock's closing price on 

January 15, 1998.  There can be no assurance that 

after the expiration of S&T's offer that the stock 

will continue to trade in this price range.





Q.	What taxes would I pay if I tender my shares?



A.	We cannot provide you with any tax advice and 

would recommend that you contact your tax advisor.  

However, we can tell you that Congress reduced the 

capital gains tax rates with the passage of the 1997 

Tax Act.  The top rate applicable to long term capital 

gains has dropped to 20% (or 10% for taxpayers in the 

15% tax bracket) for capital assets held for more than 

18 months.







Q.	If I chose not to tender, do I have to return 

any forms?



A.	No.  You only need to return the blue 

transmittal letter and your certificates if you are 

tendering.





	While we cannot recommend whether you should 

tender your shares or not, we wanted to clarify some 

of the issues that you have asked us or Corporate 

Investor Communications, Inc. (CIC), our Information 

Agent.  The choice is yours.  If you have any 

additional questions, please call us at 1-800-325-BANK 

or call CIC at 1-800-201-9605.





Sincerely,







James C. Miller

President and Chief Executive Officer
