Exhibit 99.3

April 28, 2004

To the investment community:

On April 1, 2004, The St. Paul Companies, Inc. (St. Paul), completed its previously announced merger with Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (Travelers), forming The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. (St. Paul Travelers). Each share of Travelers class A and class B common stock was exchanged for 0.4334 of a share of St. Paul Travelers common stock. For accounting purposes, this transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Travelers treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the transaction will be accounted for as a purchase business combination, using Travelers historical financial information and applying fair value estimates to the acquired assets, liabilities, and commitments of St. Paul as of April 1, 2004.

All information included in this Financial Supplement presents the historical, standalone results of St. Paul. See the separately provided Financial Supplement for St. Paul Travelers, which presents the historical, standalone results of Travelers, the accounting acquirer.

Certain non-GAAP measures have been used and reconciled to GAAP throughout this supplement. To aid in this reconciliation, key terms and definitions are provided on page eighteen.

Sincerely,

/s/	Laura C. Gagnon
	Laura C. Gagnon
	Vice President — Finance and Investor Relations

Comment on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This financial supplement includes certain statutory reporting information, as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included in accordance with the requirements of Regulation G under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Non-GAAP financial measures are often not comparable among issuers, and are not a substitute for GAAP information.

U.S. property-liability insurance operations comprise the majority of our operations. These operations are required under applicable state insurance legislation and regulations to publicly report information on the basis of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SAP”), including net written premiums, statutory loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, and statutory underwriting expense ratio information. This financial supplement provides selected SAP information for all of our property-liability underwriting operations, as well as certain GAAP information for such operations. The types of SAP information included herein are common measures of the performance of a property-liability insurer, and we believe the inclusion of such information will aid investors in comparing our results with those of our peers in the industry. In addition, management uses this SAP information to monitor financial performance.

Throughout this financial supplement, the company presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent, to the investing public and others who use this financial information in evaluating our performance. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net income, the company shows operating earnings, which is defined in this financial supplement.

Although the investment of premiums to generate investment income and realized capital gains or losses is an integral part of the company’s insurance operations, the determination to realize capital gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, losses can be created as the result of other than temporary declines in value without actual realization. In sum, realized capital gains or losses for any particular period

are not indicative of the performance of our underlying business operations.

Providing only a GAAP presentation of net income and operating income makes it more difficult for users of our financial information to evaluate the company’s success or failure in our basic business, and may lead to incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions. We understand that the equity analysts who follow the company focus on operating earnings in their analyses for the reasons discussed in the preceding paragraph.

All financial results herein are unaudited as of the date of this release.

Key Terms and Definitions

Statutory Expense Ratio:		The company uses the statutory definition of expenses in calculating expense ratios disclosed. Expenses are divided by net written premiums to arrive at the expense ratio. “Statutory” expenses differ from “GAAP” expenses primarily with regard to policy acquisition costs, which are not deferred and amortized for statutory purposes, but rather recognized as incurred. In addition, the GAAP expense ratio uses net earned premiums rather than net written premiums as the denominator.

Statutory Loss Ratio:		The company uses the statutory definition of loss ratio. This ratio is calculated by dividing losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred by net earned premiums. Net earned premiums, and losses and loss adjustment expenses, are both GAAP and statutory measures.

Statutory Combined Ratio:		The sum of the statutory expense ratio and the statutory loss ratio.

Net Written and Net Earned Premiums:		Net written premiums are a statutory measure of premium volume that differs from the net earned premiums reported in our GAAP statement of operations. Written premiums for a period can be reconciled to earned premiums by adding or subtracting the change in unearned premium reserves in the period.

Operating Earnings:		The company uses operating earnings to evaluate The St. Paul’s performance. “Operating earnings” shows net income excluding certain items that are volatile and that we believe may distort the analysis of trends in our business. Operating earnings consist of net income excluding after-tax realized gains and losses, after-tax income (or loss) from discontinued operations, and the after-tax cumulative effect of accounting changes, each of which may be highly variable from period to period. Although the investment of premiums to generate investment income and realized capital gains (or losses) is an integral part of the company’s insurance operations, the determination to realize capital gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, losses can result from other than temporary declines in value without actual realization. We believe that the level of realized gains or losses for any particular period is not indicative of the performance of our ongoing underlying business operations in a particular period. Results of discontinued operations are not relevant to an assessment of our continuing operations, and changes in accounting principles are not related to our underlying operations. Providing only a GAAP presentation of net income makes it more difficult for users of our financial information to evaluate the company’s success or failure in our basic business and may lead to incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions. We understand that the equity analysts who follow the company focus on operating earnings in their analyses for the reasons discussed above. The excluded items may be material in a period. The company provides Operating Earnings to investors so that they have what management believes to be a useful supplement to GAAP information concerning the company’s performance.

Underwriting Results by Segment:		Our reported underwriting results are our best measure of profitability for our property-liability underwriting segments and accordingly are disclosed in the footnotes to our financial statements required by SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses (as adjusted for items such as the impact of deferred policy acquisition costs) from net earned premiums. We do not allocate net investment income to our respective underwriting segments.
