To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Landmark Tax Free Reserves:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Landmark Tax Free Reserves for the year ended August 31, 1997
(on which we have issued our report dated October 6, 1997), we
considered its internal control structure, including procedures
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
structure.
The management of Landmark Tax Free Reserves 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 operation 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 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 August 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
