This Amendment No. 1 relates to the Common Stock, $.01 par value, (the "Common
Stock"),  of  Redwood  Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer"), and
amends  the statement on Schedule 13D initially filed by the Reporting Persons
with  the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on January 31,
1997.

ITEM  1.          Security  and  Issuer
No  change.
ITEM  2.          Identity  and  Background
     This  Statement  is  being  filed  on  behalf  of  Dawson-Samberg Capital
Management,  Inc.,  a  Connecticut  corporation  ("Dawson-Samberg"),  Pequot
Endowment  Partners,  L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Endowment
Partners"),  DS  International  Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company  ("International  Partners"),  Pequot  General  Partners,  L.L.C.,  a
Delaware limited liability company ("General Partners") and Jonathan T. Dawson
("Dawson").    Dawson-Samberg,  Endowment  Partners,  International  Partners,
General Partners and Dawson are sometimes referred to herein individually as a
"Reporting  Person"  and  collectively  as  the  "Reporting  Persons."
     As  Olympic  Equity  Partners,  L.P.  is  no longer a managing member of 
Endowment  Partners, the Reporting Persons and Richard L. Chilton, Jr. and his
affiliates  including,  without  limitation,  any  funds or accounts for which
Chilton  or  any  affiliate  is  a  general  partner, controlling shareholder,
managing  member,  investment  manager  or  investment  adviser, and including
Olympic  Equity  Partners  L.P.,  no  longer  could  be deemed to constitute a
"group"  for  purposes  of  Rule 13d-5(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,  as  amended  (the  "Exchange  Act").

ITEM  3.          Source  and  Amount  of  Funds  or  Other  Consideration
     As  of  the  date  hereof,  the Reporting Persons beneficially own in the
aggregate    529,800 Shares.  Of the 529,800 Shares, 148,700  shares are owned
by  Pequot  Partners,  58,900  shares  are  held in managed accounts for which
Dawson-Samberg  acts as investment adviser, 139,500 shares are owned by Pequot
International,  and 182,700 shares are owned by Pequot Endowment.  The 529,800
shares  were  purchased  in  open  market transactions at an aggregate cost of
$16,746,949.    The  funds for the purchase of Shares held by Pequot Partners,
Pequot  Endowment,  and  Pequot  International  were  obtained  from  the
contributions  of  their  various  partners/shareholders.    The funds for the
acquisition  of  the  Shares  held by the managed accounts came from their own
funds.

ITEM  4.          Purpose  of  Transaction
No  change.

ITEM  5.          Interest  in  Securities  of  theIssuer
          As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially own in the
aggregate  529,800  Shares.   These Shares represent approximately 4.1% of the
13,005,234  Shares  that  the  Reporting  Persons  believe to be outstanding. 
Dawson-Samberg has the sole power to vote, direct the vote, dispose and direct
the  disposition  of  the 58,900 Shares held in the managed accounts.  General
Partners  has  the sole power to vote, direct the vote, dispose and direct the
disposition  of  the  148,700  Shares owned by Pequot Partners.  International
Partners  has  the sole power to vote, direct the vote, dispose and direct the
disposition  of  the  139,500 Shares owned by Pequot International.  Endowment
Partners   has the sole power to vote, direct the vote, dispose and direct the
disposition  of the 182,700 Shares owned by Pequot Endowment.  No transactions
were  effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.  On March 31,
1997 the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five
percent  of  RWTI.


ITEM  6.         Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect  to  Securities  of  theIssuer.
     No  change.

ITEM  7.          Material  to  be  Filed  as  Exhibits

as  required  by  Rule  13d-1(f)  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
