Dear
      Jim:





Attached
      is a copy
      of our letter agreement, dated September 19, 2006, in which it was agreed that
      your retainer fees and other director compensation will be paid in the form
      of
      cash rather than shares of Angelica stock.





In
      accordance with that agreement, and consistent with the process that was
      followed last year, we will pay your retainer fee for this year in a similar
      manner.  Again, as explained in the attached, if a director leaves the
      Board within less than 10 months following the Retainer Date (May 15, 2007),
      he
      forfeits a pro-rated portion of the total amount.  Accordingly, your
      retainer fee ($20,000) will be paid in three equal installments in August,
      November and March (thus completing payment of the full amount as of the end
      of
      the 10 month period).





In
      addition, in lieu of the annual stock grant of 600 shares paid to each director,
      you will receive a cash payment, in an amount equivalent to the market value
      of
      the shares based on the average of the high and low trading price on the grant
      date (May 15, 2007).  These shares normally vest at the rate of
      one-third per year, over a three year period.  On that basis, each of
      three cash payments will be made to you on May 15, 2008, 2009 and 2010, in
      the
      amount of $4,861.00 (600 shares x $24.305) for a total of
      $14,583.00.





If
      you have any questions, please feel free to call me.  Otherwise, we
      ask that you sign and return the enclosed copy of this letter to acknowledge
      receipt and acceptance of the above.








Very
      truly
      yours,





/s/
