EXHIBIT 16.2
September 5, 1997
Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington, DC 20549
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for Warren Bancorp, Inc. and, under the
date of January 23, 1997, we reported on the consolidated financial statements
of Warren Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995. On August 27, 1997 we were informed that our appointment as
principal accountants was terminated effective September 1, 1997. We have read
Warren Bancorp, Inc.'s statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated
September 2, 1997, and we agree with such statements except that we were not
present at Warren Bancorp's board meeting, and therefore have no knowledge
whether or not Arthur Andersen was engaged as the principal accountants or if
the decision to change principal accountants was unanimously approved and have
no knowledge of the events described in paragraph four.
Very truly yours,
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
cc:Mr. Paul Peduto, Treasurer
Warren Bancorp, Inc.
