The Board of Trustees
Evergreen Municipal Trust
In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Evergreen
Florida High Income Municipal Bond Fund, Evergreen Florida Municipal Bond Fund,
Evergreen Georgia Municipal Bond Fund, Evergreen Maryland Municipal Bond Fund,
Evergreen North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, Evergreen South Carolina Municipal
Bond Fund, and Evergreen Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, portfolios of the
Evergreen Municipal Trust for the year ended August 31, 1999, we considered
their internal control, including control activities for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control.
The management of Evergreen Municipal Trust is responsible for establishing and
maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related
costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to
the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes
that are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or irregularities
may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control to future periods is subject to the risks that it may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters
in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more
of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation
to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to
be material weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Trustees of Evergreen Municipal Trust, and the Securities and Exchange
