Dear Sir/Madam:

The representations made in this letter are based solely on discussions with and
representations from the engagement partner and manager on the audits of the
financial statements of this registrant for the two most recent fiscal years.
Those individuals are no longer with Arthur Andersen LLP. We have read the
first, second, third and fourth paragraphs of Item 4 included in the Form 8-K
dated June 14, 2002, of Enstar Income Program II-1, L.P. to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and are in agreement with the statements
contained therein.

Very truly yours,


                             /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP
                             -----------------------
