Dear Limited Partner:

Re: Supplement to Offer to Purchase, dated August 2, 2000

         We have amended our offer to purchase to reimburse IRA holders of units
up to $50 for expenses of tendering your units in our offer. Our offer price
remains unchanged at $11.67 per unit. We believe our offer provides you with an
opportunity to gain liquidity for your investment which you may not have had
previously and to eliminate the cost and record keeping associated with limited
partnership tax reporting if we purchase all of your units.

         If you tender your units in response to our offer, we will pay any
transfer fees imposed for the transfer of units by your partnership. We will now
also pay up to $50 of fees for tendering your units which are charged by any
custodian or other trustee of any Individual Retirement Account or benefit plan
which is the owner of record of your units. Although the fees charged for
transferring units from an Individual Retirement Account vary, such fees are
typically $25-$50 per transaction. However, you will have to pay any additional
fees and any other fees and expenses, including any fees or commissions imposed
by your broker, and any taxes that apply to your sale. The custodian for your
IRA account should bill us for such fees by sending an invoice to the
Information Agent.
