FELLOW PARTNERS:
By now you should have received materials requesting your
consent to sell T. Rowe Price Realty Income Fund IV's interests
in its remaining five properties to Glenborough Realty Trust
Incorporated for $23,877,000, and also to complete the
liquidation of the Fund. A majority of the Fund's outstanding
units must be voted in favor of the proposal for the transaction
to proceed.
As mentioned previously, the Fund has held the properties
for the period generally anticipated when the Fund was
organized, and current market conditions appear favorable for a
sale. The Fund expects to benefit substantially by selling all
of the properties in bulk instead of individually. In
particular, the costs of selling each property
individually-including sales commissions and other
closing-related costs-could be materially higher. Our experience
indicates that there could be more negative price adjustments as
a result of each buyer's due diligence activities. Also
considered was the advantage of limited partners receiving their
sales proceeds immediately rather than having them spread over
the next several years.
The price offered by Glenborough should allow the Fund to
liquidate its investment for an amount that exceeds the most
recent adjusted estimated aggregate value.
Under the heading "THE TRANSACTION-Recommendations of the
General Partner" in the consent materials you received, we
discussed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the
Glenborough transaction. After carefully weighing the facts and
circumstances associated with this transaction against
alternative courses of action, we concluded that the bulk sale
to Glenborough and subsequent liquidation of the Fund is an
outstanding opportunity to maximize value for investors.
Therefore, we recommend that you consent to the proposed
transaction by voting now and returning the consent card in the
postage-paid envelope, if you have not already done so. Your
participation is extremely important, and your response to the
solicitation will save your Fund the substantial costs
associated with a follow-up mailing. If you have not received
your materials, or if you need an additional consent card,
please call one of our real estate representatives at
1-800-962-8300.

Cash Distributions
Pending the completion of the bulk sale to Glenborough, the Fund
has suspended cash distributions from operations. Assuming the
properties are sold during the next few months, the General
Partner will determine the amount it believes sufficient for the
payment of Fund liabilities; the balance of the assets will then
be promptly distributed. Based on the negotiated sale price and
other information currently available, we expect future
distributions to exceed the Fund's most recent estimated value
of $30.30.
Results of Operations
The Fund had net income of $773,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, an increase of $373,000 over the comparable 1996
period. The increase was primarily attributable to a $231,000
decrease in depreciation expense as a result of stopping
depreciation of Fund properties now Held for Sale. Further,
higher average leased status at Westbrook Commons and Goshen
Plaza, coupled with lower legal fees and maintenance costs at
Goshen, also contributed to higher net income.
During the past three-month period, net income rose $297,000
from the second quarter of 1996, also due to ceased depreciation
expenses and lower legal and maintenance costs.
At the property level, the Fund's average leased status fell
six percentage points to 90% from the comparable 1996 period. A
new lease for 6% of Tierrasanta was executed after quarter-end,
and two other leases covering the rest of the vacancy at the
property are currently being negotiated.
Outlook
As the real estate market has been improving in recent years, we
have taken advantage of the opportunity to capture higher prices
for portfolio properties. We believe it is in the best interests
of investors to liquidate the Fund's portfolio while real estate
values continue to strengthen, since the Fund is nearing the end
of its planned lifespan. In the normal course of events, as the
real estate cycle runs its course, rising property prices
usually lead to an increased supply of new properties, which
could lead to softer prices sometime later.
No one can forecast exactly when the real estate market will
peak, but we believe current market conditions favor a sale of
Fund properties because of the benign interest rate environment,
increased availability of investor capital, and the improvement
of some markets in which the Fund owns properties.
Once again we urge you to read the consent solicitation
materials and return the card as quickly as possible so that we
can proceed with the orderly liquidation of your investment.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
James S. Riepe
Chairman
