                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Voyageur Mutual Funds, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Arizona Fund
Voyageur Insured Funds, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Arizona Insured Fund
Voyageur Mutual Funds, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free California Fund
Voyageur Investment Trust - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free California Insured Fund
Voyageur Mutual Funds II, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Colorado Fund
Voyageur Investment Trust - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free New Mexico Fund
Voyageur Investment Trust - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Utah Fund

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Tax-Free Arizona
Fund, Tax-Free Arizona Insured Fund, Tax-Free California Fund, Tax-Free
California Insured Fund, Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Tax-Free New Mexico Fund and
Tax-Free Utah Fund (the "Funds") as of August 31, 1998, and the related
statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for the period January 1, 1998 through August 31, 1998 and for the
year ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the financial highlights for the periods presented through
December 31, 1996 were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon dated
February 14, 1997 expressed unqualified opinions on those statements and
financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of August 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Funds at August 31, 1998, and the results of their operations,
the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the period
January 1, 1998 through August 31, 1998 and for the year ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
