    Dear Ms. Gallo:

    Enclosed for your information are courtesy copies of
Digital
    Equipment Corporation's 1995 Annual Report to
Stockholders and Proxy
    Statement for the November 9, 1995 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.
    These documents are being sent to you in advance of the
regular
    distribution to stockholders in order to provide
additional time for
    you to consider the matters for which stockholder
approval is
    requested.

    I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you at
your
    convenience to discuss the items on the agenda for this
year's
    Annual Meeting, and in particular, the proposed 1995
Equity Plan,
    the text of which is included in the proxy statement.  I
will call
    your office early next week to schedule such a meeting.
In the
    meantime, please feel free to call me if you need
anything further.

    Sincerely,

    /s/ Gail S. Mann
