The Partnership has experienced certain unplanned absences (funeral

quarterly financial information. As a result, the firm has not
completed its internal quality control processes which has delayed the
preparation of the first quarter financial information and related 10-Q
filing. The firm will file Form 10-Q on or before May 14, 1999, which
is four business days following the original required date.
