REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of California Tax Free Trust and the Shareholders of Scudder
California Tax Free Fund and California Tax Free Money Fund:
In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements and
financial highlights of Scudder California Tax Free Fund and California Tax Free
Money Fund for the year ended March 31, 1997, we considered their internal
control structures, including procedures for safeguarding securities, in order
to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions
on the financial statements and financial highlights and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on the internal control
structures.
The management of Scudder California Tax Free Fund and California Tax Free
Money Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control
structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
internal control structure policies and procedures. Two of the objectives of an
internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized
use or disposition and that transactions are executed in accordance with
management's authorization and recorded properly to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors
or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure 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 operations may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure 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 the specific internal control structure elements 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 and financial
highlights 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 structure, including
procedures for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above, as of March 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management of
Scudder California Tax Free Fund and California Tax Free Money Fund and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
