<NAMEADDRESS>
Dear <SALUTATION>:
Since your organization is a substantial investor in the Common
Stock of Edison International, I am enclosing with this letter a copy of
the proxy statement for the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to
be held on April 16, 1998. Knowing that your shares are held through a
custodian bank and that the normal path of distribution of these items
could result in some delay, I thought you would appreciate receiving your
personal copy of the materials at the same time they are being sent to the
holders of record.
Any comments or questions you may have concerning the proposal
described in the proxy statement are welcome and I would very much
appreciate the opportunity to discuss them with you personally. Please
feel free to call me at (626) 302-2204.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and management of Edison
International, thank you for your continued interest and support.
Very truly yours,
Beverly P. Ryder
