Dear Shareholder                                                    October 1995
 
The Dodge & Cox Income Fund provided a total return of 2.1% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995. The total return for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond (LBAG) Index (a broad-based index composed of investment grade bonds) was
2.0% for the same period. For the first nine months of 1995 the Fund returned
15.2%, compared to a 13.6% return from the LBAG Index.

The average annual total return figures include reinvestment of dividend and 
capital gain distributions.  These results represent past performance; past 
performance is no guarantee of future results.  Investment return and share 
price will vary, and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at 
original purchase.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Despite some intra-period volatility, interest rates finished the quarter very
close to where they began. The Fund's third quarter total return was primarily a
function of the income on the portfolio's holdings. Additionally, there was some
price appreciation in our longer maturity corporate securities, the result of a
narrowing of their yield premiums and a small decline in long term interest
rates.

Dodge & Cox Hallmarks: Incremental Yield and Security Selection

We manage the Income Fund with a three to five year investment horizon and
believe that, over this time period, income return and the reinvestment of
income will be the dominant components of the Fund's total return. Therefore, a
cornerstone of our fixed income strategy is building incremental yield into the
Income Fund without sacrificing its broad diversification and high average
quality. We accomplish this by allocating a significant percentage (nearly 70%
currently) of the Fund's assets to corporate and mortgage securities which
provide a greater yield than similar duration U.S. Treasuries. The quality and
diversity of the Fund's holdings are maintained through a second cornerstone of
our management style: security selection.

A focus on security selection necessitates researching all of the pertinent
details of every bond which goes into the portfolio. This approach makes us very
choosy buyers; only the proper combination of credit (what are the fundamental
risks of lending money to the issuer?), structure (is this a compelling
maturity/coupon/option features combination?), and price (is this truly
reflective of the risk/reward tradeoff for this security?) will result in a bond
being purchased for the Fund. Building a portfolio with a high and stable yield
through our focus on security selection is the most important thing that we do
as managers.

Readily Available Fundamental Analysis

Last quarter we talked about what security selection means for mortgage-backed
securities. Security selection also plays a vital role in the corporate sector
of the Fund. The process for corporate bonds relies upon in-depth credit
research, and in this regard we make full use of our eleven in-house research
analysts. Each analyst follows the companies within their assigned industries,
providing fundamental and unbiased corporate credit analysis. Our fixed income
department has continual access to these professionals due to Dodge & Cox's
single office location in San Francisco. Combining fundamental credit research
with thorough structural analysis gives us the confidence to invest a
significant percentage (34% as of September 30) of the Fund's assets in
corporate securities. The Fund now holds the debt of twenty-four companies, with
the recent additions of G.E. Capital and May Department Stores.

Portfolio Composition

Shareholders may note that sector percentages for the Fund at quarter end have
changed from three months ago. The corporate and mortgage-backed securities
weightings decreased by 2.1 and 4.8 percentage points respectively, while the
cash component of the Fund increased from 6.7% to nearly 12%. Coincident with
the close of the third quarter, the Fund received a significant subscription,
which increased the end-of-quarter cash component of the Fund and reduced the
weightings of other sectors as a proportion of the Fund's total assets. We have
since moved to invest this money. As always, we will actively search out
opportunities to increase the yield of the Fund and its potential return without
sacrificing its high average quality and diversification.

In closing, we want to thank you for your continued confidence in Dodge & Cox. 
We believe that our ongoing commitment to independent fundamental research and
individual security selection will continue to benefit Fund shareholders in the
years ahead.
