MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
FOREMAN, Senior District Judge:
Plaintiffs have moved this Court to reconsider its protective order entered on October 15, 1991. The protective order prohibited plaintiffs’ counsel from disseminating or using copies of letters written to the defendants by their counsel. The Court concludes that: (1) the two letters fall within the attorney-client privilege; (2) defendants have not waived the privilege; (3) defendants are not barred by a Pennsylvania state court ruling from asserting that the privilege has not been waived.
