Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for State Street Research Income Trust
1933 Act File No. 33-2697
1940 Act File No. 811-4559
Gentlemen:
As counsel to State Street Research Income Trust (the "Registrant")
we have been requested to render this opinion in connection with the filing by
the Registrant of a Rule 24f-2 Notice on Form 24F-2 with respect to its fiscal
year ended March 31, 1996.
Reference is made to Item 10 of such Notice wherein the Registrant
reports the number of shares (the "Shares") representing interests in the State
Street Research High Income Fund, MetLife - State Street Research Government
Securities Fund, and State Street Research Managed Assets series of the
Registrant sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, in reliance upon
Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
We have examined the Registrant's First Amended and Restated Master
Trust Agreement dated June 1, 1993, as amended, the By-Laws of the Registrant,
as amended, the Rule 24f-2 Notice of the Registrant dated May 29, 1996, certain
resolutions adopted by the Trustees of the Registrant, and such other documents
as we deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion.
We have made such examination of Massachusetts law as in our
judgment is necessary and appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Members
of this firm are admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and
certain other jurisdictions; however, we render no opinion herein with respect
to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be an opinion as to any law other
than the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Anything in this opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, we render
or imply no opinion with respect to compliance with any applicable securities or
anti-fraud statutes, rules, regulations or other similar laws of any state
(including Massachusetts) or the United States of America.
Based upon the foregoing, and assuming that all of the Shares were
sold, issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A in effect at the time of sale, in our
opinion the shares were legally issued and fully paid and non-assessable by the
Registrant.
Very truly yours,
/s/Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP
