Dear Shareholder:

A few weeks ago, we sent you a proxy statement and ballot, 
which asked you to vote in favor of new investment advisory 
agreements relating to your fund.  These agreements will be 
voted on at a shareholder meeting scheduled for Tuesday, 
August 15, 1995.  Because our records indicate you have not 
yet voted, we are enclosing another ballot. 

As explained in the proxy statement we previously sent you, 
the Board of Trustees (including the independent trustees) 
for your fund unanimously approved the new agreements after 
careful consideration of a number of factors.  Most 
importantly, the trustees considered the proposed fee 
increase, and concluded that it would help ensure quality 
investment management services at a good relative value for 
the funds' no-load investors.  If the proposed fees had been 
in effect during the most recent fiscal year, the incremental 
cost would have been less than $2 per $1,000 invested.

Your Board of Trustees has unanimously recommended that you 
vote FOR the proposed agreements. Please vote and return your 
ballot today.  If it is more convenient, we will be happy to 
accept your vote by phone if you call us at 1 800 338-2550.  
Remember, your vote counts, no matter how many shares you 
own.

Thank you for your cooperation. We appreciate your continued 
support.

Sincerely,



Timothy K. Armour
President
