Voyageur Investment Trust - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Oregon Insured Fund
Voyageur Investment Trust - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Washington Insured Fund
Voyageur Mutual Funds, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Wisconsin Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Tax-Free Idaho
Fund, Tax-Free Iowa Fund, Tax-Free Kansas Fund, Tax-Free Missouri Insured Fund,
Tax-Free North Dakota Fund, Tax-Free Oregon Insured Fund, Tax-Free Washington
Insured Fund and Tax-Free Wisconsin Fund (the "Funds") as of August 31, 1998,
and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the period January 1, 1998 through August 31, 1998
and for the year ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net
assets for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the financial highlights for the
periods presented through December 31, 1996 were audited by other auditors whose
reports thereon dated February 14, 1997 expressed unqualified opinions on those
statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of August 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Funds at August 31, 1998, and the results of their operations,
the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the period
January 1, 1998 through August 31, 1998 and for the year ended December 31,
