EXHIBIT A - ITEM 77B
June 15, 1998
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
Phoenix Income and Growth Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the
Phoenix Income and Growth Fund ("the Fund") for the year ended April 30,
1998, 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 the Fund 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 the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or
irregularities 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, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management
and the Trustees of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
