Return of Capital

The Fund adjusts the  classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect
the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined
in accordance with income tax  regulations.  Accordingly,  during the year ended
July 31,  1998,  amounts  have been  reclassified  to  reflect  an  increase  in
overdistributed  net investment income of $5,112,  accumulated net realized loss
on  investments  was decreased by $134,387 and paid-in  capital was decreased by
$129,275

Material Reclassification

As of November 4, 1997,  in order to conform book and tax bases,  the Fund began
amortization of premiums on securities for book purposes. Such cumulative change
was limited to a reclassification adjustment and had no impaact on net assets or
total increase (decrease) in net assets. Accordingly, during the year ended July
31,  1998,  amounts  have  been  reclassified  to  reflect  an  increase  in net
unrealized  appreciation  of  investments  of  $141,906.   Paid-in  capital  was
decreased  for the same amount.  For bonds  acquired  after April 30,  1993,  on
disposition or maturity,  taxable ordinary income is recognized to the extent of
the lesser of gain or market  discount  that would have accrued over the holding
period. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and
depreciation are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis
used for federal income tax purposes.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer New Jersey Municipal Fund:


In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Oppenheimer
New Jersey Municipal Fund (separate series of Oppenheimer  Multi-State Municipal
Trust) for the year ended July 31, 1998,  we considered  its internal  controls,
including  procedures  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 controls.

The management of  Oppenheimer  New Jersey  Municipal  Fund is  responsible  for
establishing   and   maintaining   internal   controls.   In   fulfilling   this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of internal control policies and procedures.
Two of the  objectives  of  internal  controls  are to provide  management  with
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss
from  unauthorized  use or  disposition  and that  transactions  are executed in
accordance  with  management's  authorization  and  recorded  properly to permit
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Because of inherent  limitations in internal controls,  errors or irregularities
may  occur  and may not be  detected.  Also,  projection  of any  evaluation  of
internal  controls to future periods is subject to the risk that they may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions or that the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation may deteriorate.

Our  consideration  of internal  controls  would not  necessarily  disclose  all
matters in internal  controls 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 specific
internal  control  elements  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 internal controls,  including
procedures  for  safeguarding  securities,  that we  considered  to be  material
weaknesses as defined above as of July 31, 1998.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund:


In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Oppenheimer
Pennsylvania   Municipal  Fund  (separate  series  of  Oppenheimer   Multi-State
Municipal  Trust) for the year ended July 31, 1998, we  considered  its internal
controls,   including  procedures  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 controls.

The management of  Oppenheimer  Pennsylvania  Municipal Fund is responsible  for
establishing   and   maintaining   internal   controls.   In   fulfilling   this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of internal control policies and procedures.
Two of the  objectives  of  internal  controls  are to provide  management  with
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss
from  unauthorized  use or  disposition  and that  transactions  are executed in
accordance  with  management's  authorization  and  recorded  properly to permit
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Because of inherent  limitations in internal controls,  errors or irregularities
may  occur  and may not be  detected.  Also,  projection  of any  evaluation  of
internal  controls to future periods is subject to the risk that they may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions or that the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation may deteriorate.

Our  consideration  of internal  controls  would not  necessarily  disclose  all
matters in internal  controls 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 specific
internal  control  elements  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
