Re:		Registration Statement on Form S-4 for P. H. Glatfelter Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as local counsel to P. H. Glatfelter Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), Glatfelter Pulp Wood Company, a Maryland corporation (“Pulp Wood”), PHG Tea Leaves, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tea Leaves”), Mollanvick, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mollanvick”) and Glatfelter Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings” and, together with Pulp Wood, Tea Leaves and Mollanvick, each a “Guarantor” and together, the “Guarantors”) and are rendering this opinion in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the registration by the Company of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7¹/₈% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Exchange Notes”) and the guarantees of the Exchange Notes by the Guarantors (the “Guarantees”).

The Exchange Notes are to be offered (the “Exchange Offer”) in exchange for the Company’s 7¹/₈% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Old Notes”), of which $100 million aggregate principal amount is outstanding, which were issued and sold by the Company on February 5, 2010 in an offering exempt from registration under the Act and which are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The Exchange Notes will be issued by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 5, 2010, among the Company, the Guarantors and HSBC Bank USA, National Association (the “Trustee”), as trustee.

In so acting, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following:

We have also examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all other agreements, documents, and instruments as we have deemed appropriate as the basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. We have also examined, and relied upon the accuracy of factual matters contained in, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records and certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of each of the Company and the Guarantors and of such agreements, documents and instruments and have made such examinations of law as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions set forth below.

In making our examination of documents executed by parties other than the Company and the Guarantors, we have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization of all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof with respect to such parties.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

1. The execution and delivery of the Indenture has been authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, on the part of each of the Company and the Guarantors.

2. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company.
