Dear Scudder Investor,

The  prospectus  language on the reverse  side  announces an increase in Scudder
Limited Term Tax Free Fund's expense  limitation.  Effective  September 1, 1995,
the Fund's  expense  limitation has been raised from 0.25% to 0.50% of daily net
assets,  and will remain in effect  until at least April 30,  1996.  Despite the
increase, the expense limitation continues to help the Fund to provide investors
with a more  attractive  level of tax-free  income compared with levels the Fund
could provide if it were to incur full operating expenses and fees.

Please contact a Scudder Investor  Relations  representative  at  1-800-225-2470
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., eastern time, Monday through Friday,  should you have
any questions about this or any other Scudder fund.

Sincerely,


/s/David S. Lee
David S. Lee
President, Scudder Investor Services, Inc.

     Total Fund operating expenses                                 0.50%**
                                                                   ====   

Example

Based on the level of Fund operating  expenses listed above,  the total expenses
relating to a $1,000  investment,  assuming a 5% annual return and redemption at
the end of each period,  are listed below.  Investors do not pay these  expenses
directly;  they are paid by the Fund before it  distributes  its net  investment
income to shareholders.  (As noted above, the Fund has no redemption fees of any
kind.)

      1 Year          3 Years                5 Years               10 Years
      ------          -------                -------               --------
       $5               $16                    $28                    $63

See "Fund  organization--Investment  adviser" for further  information about the
investment  management fee. This example  assumes  reinvestment of all dividends
and  distributions  and that the  percentage  amounts  listed under "Annual Fund
operating  expenses"  remain  the same each  year.  This  example  should not be
considered a  representation  of past or future expenses or return.  Actual Fund
expenses and return vary from year to year and may be higher or lower than those
shown.

*    You may redeem by writing or calling the Fund or by  Write-A-Check.  If you
     wish to  receive  your  redemption  proceeds  via wire,  there is a $5 wire
     service  fee. For  additional  information,  please  refer to  "Transaction
     information--Redeeming shares."

**   Until April 30, 1996,  the Adviser has agreed to reimburse  Fund  operating
     expenses  and  waive  its fee to the  extent  necessary  so that the  total
     annualized  expenses of the Fund do not exceed  0.50% of average  daily net
     assets. If the Adviser had not agreed to reimburse  operating  expenses and
     waive its fee so that the  total  annualized  expenses  of the Fund did not
     exceed 0% from February 15, 1994  (commencement  of  operations) to October
     31, 1994, Fund expenses would have been:  investment  management fee 0.60%,
     other expenses 0.51% and total operating expenses 1.11% for the fiscal year
     ended October 31, 1994. To the extent that expenses fall below 0.50% during
     the fiscal  year,  the  Adviser  reserves  the right to recoup,  during the
     fiscal year incurred,  amounts  reimbursed or waived during the period, but
     only  to  the  extent  that  the  Fund's  expenses  do  not  exceed  0.50%.
