Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Voyageur Funds, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur U.S. Government
Securities Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Voyageur Funds, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur U.S.
Government Securities Fund (the "Fund") for the year ended
October 31, 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
fraud 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
specific internal control components does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that errors 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 at October 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
the board of directors and management of the Fund and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
