Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc.
  as General Partner of
  Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P.
900 North Michigan Avenue
Chicago, Illinois  60611

Gentlemen:

We are currently evaluating whether to increase our offer for Units of
Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership").  As part of our evaluation we
believe it is important that all Unitholders be apprised of the position of the
Partnership with respect to the various pending offers for Units.

To date, the Partnership in its filings on Schedule 14D-9 has drawn what we
believe to be an artificial distinction by recommending that Unitholders who
have no need for liquidity reject the various tender offers while at the same
time expressing no opinion with respect to all other Unitholders including
those desiring liquidity, which our current offer obviously provides.  We
believe that such a distinction is contrary to the requirements of Schedule
14D-9.  If the Partnership is making a recommendation with respect to an offer,
it has an obligation to make a recommendation to all Unitholders.  It cannot
avoid its legal obligation by creating a distinction that has no basis under
state law or the provisions of the Williams Act.  Having recommended that
certain Unitholders reject the pending offers, the Partnership cannot abrogate
its legal responsibility by expressing no opinion with respect to all other
Unitholders.

We believe that it is incumbent upon the Partnership to require that its
investment banker Lehman Brothers provide a valuation of the Units on a current
fair market value basis (rather than on a liquidation value basis) in order
that those Unitholders desiring liquidity be appropriately informed in making
an investment decision and the Partnership take a position with respect
thereto.

Accordingly, we hereby request that the Partnership promptly communicate with
all Unitholders and clearly set forth its recommendation on the pending offers.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        RALEIGH CAPITAL ASSOCIATES L.P.
