reschedule the date of the annual shareholders meeting from July
14, 1995 to August 31, 1995, with a new record date of July 28,

Marietta Corporation, et al., Index No. 31571 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.
Cortland Co.), entered on May 5, 1995 to permit such a change. 
In consideration of the agreement of Dickstein & Co., L.P. and
Dickstein International Limited ("Dickstein") not to object to or
oppose the vacatur of the Judgment and Order, Marietta agrees
that it will not further adjourn the date of the annual
shareholders meeting beyond August 31, 1995 without Dickstein's

Please indicate your agreement by signing as indicated below.

Very truly yours,

     RE:  APPLICATION OF DICKSTEIN & CO., L.P. and
          DICKSTEIN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, Petitioners,
          for a Judgment Pursuant to CPLR Article 78
          Directing Respondents to Hold an Annual Shareholders
          Meeting, - against - MARIETTA CORPORATION, ROBERT C.

          Cortland Co. Index #31571; RJI #95-0124M


Marietta Corporation joined by Dickstein & Co., L.P. and
Dickstein International Limited, and supported by Florescue
Family Corporation petitions the court to postpone the date of
the shareholders meeting of Marietta Corporation now scheduled
for July 14, 1995.

Marietta Corporation contends there will be no prejudice to the
shareholders if the meeting is adjourned, but a serious risk of
harm to Marietta and its shareholders if the meeting is held as
scheduled.

Marietta Corporation states that it is the hope and expectation
of the board of directors that within a matter of weeks the
shareholders will be presented with the opportunity to vote upon
a transaction to sell Marietta Corporation.

The supported reasons for the adjournment of the shareholders
meeting are to avoid the cost of a proxy contest, to permit
Marietta to direct its time/energy to effecting a favorable sale,
and to maximize the chances for an orderly completion of the sale
process.

The parties and Florescue Family Corporation urge the court to
open and modify its prior order because changed circumstances
render that prior order unnecessary.

Accordingly, based upon the papers submitted to court, the motion
to open the judgment and order entered on May 5, 1995 is granted
and the order and judgment is hereby vacated.
