To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Evergreen Florida High Income Municipal Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
Evergreen Florida High Income Municipal Fund (the "Fund") for the
year ended August 31, 1997, we considered its internal control,
including procedures for safeguarding securities, in order to
determine our auditing procedures for the purposes of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, and 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 control
activities. Generally, control activities 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
control activities include the safeguarding of assets against loss
from unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
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 internal control 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 any specific internal control
components 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, including control activities for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses
as defined above as of August 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Trustees of the Fund and the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
