ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. On November 12, 1996, our appointment as
principal accountants was terminated. We have read Spring Bancorp, Inc.'s
statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated November 14, 1996, we
agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or
disagree with Spring Bancorp, Inc.'s stated reason for changing principal
accountants and we have had no involvement with Spring Bancorp, Inc.'s interim
period financial statements after December 31, 1995.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Clifton, Gunderson LLC
