Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with your
Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1993, as
amended, under which you have registered an indefinite number of shares of
beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In particular, this opinion relates
to the notice which you are filing under Rule 24f-2 (the "Rule 24f-2 Notice")
which makes definite in number the 4,119,380 shares of beneficial interest,
$0.01 par value per share, which you sold in the year ended March 31, 1996 (the
"Shares") (FBP Contrarian Balanced Fund, 437,108 shares; FBP Contrarian Equity
Fund, 227,338 shares; Government Street Equity Fund, 273,855 shares; Government
Street Bond Fund, 117,710 shares; Alabama Tax Free Bond Fund, 247,956 shares,
Jamestown Balanced Fund, 370,290 shares; Jamestown Equity Fund, 542,324 shares;
Jamestown Bond Fund, 1,534,918 shares; Jamestown Short Term Bond Fund, 208,453
shares; and Jamestown Tax Free Virginia Fund, 159,428 shares).
We have made such inquiry of your officers and trustees and have examined
such corporate documents, records and certificates and other documents and such
questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied, with your approval, as to all
questions of fact material to this opinion, upon certificates of public
officials and of your officers and have assumed, with your approval, that the
signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, which facts we have not
independently verified.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares were legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
With respect to the opinion stated above, we wish to point out that the
shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust may, under some circumstances, be
subject to assessment at the instance of creditors to pay the obligations of
such trust in the event that its assets are insufficient for the purpose.
We hereby consent to your attaching this opinion to the Rule 24f-2 Notice
and making it a part thereof. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit
that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Sullivan & Worcester LLP
