TITLE SECRETARY
REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and
The Board of Directors of
New York Daily Tax Free Income Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of New York
Daily Tax Free Income Fund, Inc. for the year ended April 30, 1999, 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 internal control.
The management of New York Daily Tax Free Income 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 safeguarding of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud 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 internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters
in 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 misstatements caused by error or fraud 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
internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
April 30, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors of New York Daily Tax Free Income Fund, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
