INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Trustees
Seligman Pennsylvania Municipal Fund


In planning and  performing  our audit of the  financial  statements of Seligman
Pennsylvania  Municipal Fund (formerly  Seligman  Pennsylvania  Tax-Exempt Fund)
(the "Fund") for the year ended  September 30, 1996, we considered  its internal
control structure, including procedures for safeguarding securities, in order to
determine  our auditing  procedures  for the purpose of expressing an 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 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  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 the
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Because of the 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 be
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions or that the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation may deteriorate.

Our consideration of 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
September 30, 1996.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Securites and Exchange Commission.
