[USLIFE INCOME FUND INC. LETTERHEAD]

                                                               November 29, 1999

Dear USLIFE Income Fund Shareholder:

     The December 3 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is now only a few days away
and, according to our records, we have not yet received your BLUE proxy card. As
you know, a dissident shareholder, the Ernest Horejsi Trust No. 1B, and one of
its beneficiaries, Stewart R. Horejsi, have initiated a proxy contest in an
effort to elect four people designated by them to your Fund's Board of
Directors. The dissident Horejsi group also is seeking to alter your Fund's long
standing investment policy.

     As a result, your vote this year is extremely important.

     In order to give you every opportunity to vote your shares, we are
enclosing a duplicate BLUE proxy card and a Federal Express envelope with
instructions on how to arrange a free pickup and delivery of your BLUE proxy
card to us. We also are enclosing, for your information and convenience, copies
of two letters we previously sent to all of the Fund's shareholders which
explain in detail why we believe it is important that you sign, date and return
the enclosed BLUE proxy card without delay.

     As an alternative to returning your BLUE proxy card by Federal Express, you
also can return your BLUE proxy card by fax. If you have a fax machine
available, you can vote your shares by faxing both sides of your BLUE proxy card
to the firm which is assisting us in the solicitation of proxies, Georgeson
Shareholder Communications Inc. The fax number is (212) 440-9009.

     If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares, either
by Federal Express or by fax, please call Georgeson Shareholder Communications,
toll free, at 1 (800) 223-2064.

     Again, we thank you for your patience and your support.

                                          Sincerely,

                                          /s/ ALICE T. KANE

                                          Alice T. Kane
                                          President
