Dear Limited Partner:

  Enclosed is the Schedule 14D-9 which was filed by the Partnership with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offer by
DeForest Ventures I L.P. (the "Purchaser") to purchase limited
partnership units.

  The general partner of the Partnership is affiliated with the Purchaser. 
Accordingly, the Partnership is making no recommendation and is
remaining neutral as to whether limited partners should tender their
units pursuant to the offer. Unitholders should note, however, that the
Partnership has entered into contracts for the sale of two of its
properties, which sales are subject to customary closing conditions
including title, survey and environmental review. If these sales are
consummated on their current terms, the Partnership expects to
distribute the net proceeds from such sales of approximately $44 per
Unit. In addition, the Partnership would continue to own eight other
properties. Unitholders who tender their Units will not be entitled to
receive any distributions from the Partnership on account of the
property sales or otherwise.
 
  Limited partners are advised to carefully read the enclosed Schedule 14D-9.

                                  Century Properties Fund XIV
