Dear Mr. Baker:

Just a note to tell you how intriguing it was to read about your Life Chute invention. Hope i never have to use one -- but it would be nice to know it's there.

We have valued your business over the years and hope for many reasons that Life Chute turns out to be commercially successful. You have gotten a lot of good publicity recently, and that should help.

We look forward to continuing to work with the Baker companies.

Sincerely,

William C. Lickle
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Delaware Trust Company
