The Board of Directors,
Mitchell Hutchins / Kidder, Peabody Equity Income Fund, Inc.:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the
Mitchell Hutchins / Kidder, Peabody Equity Income Fund, Inc. for the year
ended January 31, 1995, 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, and not to
provide assurance on the internal control structure.

The management of the 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 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.

<PAGE>

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
January 31, 1995.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
