To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Landmark Tax Free Income Funds:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Landmark New York Tax Free Income Fund (a
separate series of Landmark Tax Free Income Funds) for the year
ended December 31, 1996 (on which we have issued our report
dated January 31, 1997), 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, not to provide
assurance on the internal control structure.
The management of Landmark New York Tax Free Income 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
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 operation 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. 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
December 31, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
