Ladies and Gentlemen:

We were previously principal accountants for Great Lakes Energy Partners, LLC
("Great Lakes") and, under the date of September 17, 2002, we reported on the
consolidated financial statements of Great Lakes Energy Partners, LLC ("Great
Lakes") for the three months ended December 31, 1999, and for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 2001. Great Lakes is a significant subsidiary of Range
Resources Corporation ("Range"). On November 18, 2002, we were notified that our
appointment as principal accountant of Great Lakes was terminated. We have read
Range's statements included under Item 4 of Range's Form 8-K dated November 14,
2002, and we agree with such statements except that we are not in a position to
agree or disagree with Range's statements that (1) the Great Lakes Audit
Committee recommended the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as independent
auditors, which was approved by the Great Lakes' Management Committee, (2) E&Y
accepted its appointment as independent auditors of Great lakes, or (3) Great
Lakes did not consult with E&Y regarding any of the matters or events described
in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.


Very truly yours,
