Dear Shareholders,

   I am pleased to report to you the financial performance of First West
Virginia Bancorp, Inc. for the second quarter of 1996.  Consolidated net income
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $405,277 or $.52 per share as
compared to $358,502 or $.46 per share as of June 30, 1995.  The increase in
earnings during the second quarter of 1996 as compared to 1995 was primarily due
to increased net interest income, offset in part by increased operating expenses
and decreased noninterest income. Operational earnings were improved with net
interest income increasing $169,321 or 12.6%, to $1,514,702 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 due primarily to the
growth in the loan portfolio.

   For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the return on average assets (ROA)
was 1.19% and the return on average equity (ROE) was 13.82%.  The ROA and ROE
earned during the same period last year were 1.17% and 12.94%, respectively.
The book value per share was $15.38 at June 30, 1996 as compared to $14.30 per
share at June 30, 1995.

   Net loans increased to $72,838,474 at June 30, 1996, up 10.5%, from June 30,
1995.  Total deposits increased 8.9% from $110,537,088 at June 30, 1995 to
$120,336,484 at June 30, 1996.  Total stockholders' equity rose to $11,926,437,
a 7.6% increase over the $11,083,087 reported at June 30, 1995.

   Dividends for the second quarter of 1996 were $.19 per share, up from the
$.12 per share paid during the second quarter of 1995.

   During the second quarter of 1996, Progressive Bank, N.A. - Buckhannon opened
a full service branch office in Weston, West Virginia.  The Weston branch office
located in the Market Square Shopping Center includes a drive-in facility and an
automated teller machine (ATM).  Also, Progressive Bank, N.A. -Bellaire
installed the first ATM in Bellaire, Ohio.

   A continued strong performance during 1996 is anticipated and I extend my
gratitude to our customers, shareholders, directors and employees for their
ongoing support.

  Sincerely,


  Ronald L. Solomon
  President and Chief Executive Officer
