In connection with the audit of fiscal year ended December 31,

were no disagreements with Baker Newman & Noyes LLP on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements
if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to
make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject
matter of the disagreement.
The audit reports of Baker Newman & Noyes LLP on the consolidated
financial statements of Union Bankshares Company as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1994 did not contain any adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. A letter
from Baker Newman & Noyes LLP is attached as Exhibit A.
Prior to January 1, 1994, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (the predecessor
firm of Baker Newman & Noyes) was the principal accountants for

LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Union Bankshares
Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,
