Dean Witter Tax-Free Daily Income Trust

Dear Sirs:
In connection with the public offering of shares of beneficial
interest, $.01 par value, of Dean Witter Tax-Free Daily Income
Trust (the "Trust"), I have examined such trust records and
documents and have made such further investigation and examination
as I have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion.
It is my opinion, as Legal Counsel for the Trust, that the
Trust is an unincorporated business trust duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Massachusetts and
that the shares of beneficial interest covered by the Rule 24f-2
Notice, dated February 5, 1996 (File No. 2-67087 and 811-3031),
were issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the
offering, as set forth in the prospectus filed as part of the
Registration Statement, as amended, of the Trust and were legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2. In giving this consent, I
do not thereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the rules and requisitions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/Sheldon Curtis
Sheldon Curtis
General Counsel
