To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Old Republic International Corporation


Our audits of the consolidated financial statements,  of management's assessment
of the  effectiveness  of internal  control over financial  reporting and of the
effectiveness  of internal control over financial  reporting  referred to in our
report  dated  February  28,  2006  appearing  in  the  2005  Annual  Report  to
Shareholders   of  Old  Republic   International   Corporation   (which  report,
consolidated  financial statements and assessment appear in the Annual Report on

set  forth  therein  when  read in  conjunction  with the  related  consolidated
