October 1, 2008

Mr. Warren F. Bryant Dr. Mary S. Metz, Ph.D
Chairman and CEO Chairperson, Governance and
Longs Drug Stores Corp. Nominating Committee
141 N. Civic Dr. Longs Drug Stores Corp.
Walnut Creek, CA 94596 141 N. Civic Dr.
 Walnut Creek, CA 94596

Dear Dr. Metz and Warren:

We have read with keen interest your announcement that the Federal Trade
Commission has served on Longs a 25 page request for documents and information
in connection with Walgreens' offer to purchase for $75 per share all of the
outstanding shares of Longs. It is now time for the Longs' Board to step up to
the plate and respond to the FTC's request thoroughly and expeditiously.

We have been extremely disappointed with the Board's failure, first, to
disclose critical information about Longs' real estate and lease holdings,
second, to engage in a fair and open auction process to sell the Company and,
third, to respond positively to Walgreens' $75 per share offer.

Your dismissive responses to the Walgreen's offer of considerably more money
than the CVS deal, stripped of its argumentative rhetoric, boils down to only
two issues, namely, can a Walgreens/Longs merger be accomplished under the
antitrust laws and, if so, how long will it take? The investigatory request
to Longs demonstrates that the FTC is engaged and that the Commission is
prepared to make a determination as to whether Walgreens can acquire Longs
and on what terms. This eliminates your first expressed concern and also
eliminates your posturing and reliance on legal advice which is no longer
persuasive in light of the FTC's review of the matter and the potential, if
not likelihood, that an agreement can be reached between the FTC and Walgreens
that will permit the acquisition to proceed.

As to your second concern about timing, here is where the Longs Board is
obligated to exercise its fiduciary duty to promptly and completely satisfy
the FTC's request. To do otherwise might impair Walgreens' ability to reach
an agreement with the FTC and proceed with its superior offer. This would
deprive Longs shareholders of the ability to take advantage of the clearly
higher offer of $75 per share from Walgreens in contrast to the CVS lower
offer of $71.50 per share. CVS has also publicly stated that it will stand
firm at this lower per share price.

As Longs' largest shareholder with holdings for our clients of approximately
9.2% of Longs' outstanding shares, we expect the Board to satisfy its
fiduciary duties to its shareowners by adopting a level playing field posture
and by fully cooperating with the FTC.

Very truly yours,


David B. Heller
President
