To Whom it May Concern:

        On August 20, 1996, the Shareholders Committee of The New Iberia 
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Committee") filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, pursuant to Rule 14a-11(c), a letter addressed to shareholders of 
The New Iberia Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company").  This filing was made 
inadvertently, as the letter was not sent to the Company's shareholders, and is 
hereby withdrawn.

Very truly yours,

THE SHAREHOLDERS COMMITTEE
OF THE NEW IBERIA BANCORP, INC.*
