Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Alliance Bond Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
Alliance Bond Fund, Inc. (comprising the Corporate Bond and U.S.
Government Portfolios) for the year ended June 30, 1998, we
considered its 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 the internal control.
The management of Alliance Bond Fund, Inc. 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 risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the 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 the internal control and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be material weaknesses as defined above at June 30,
1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the
board of directors and management of Alliance Bond Fund, Inc. and
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
