     Legg Mason Tax-Free Income Fund
     111 South Calvert Street
     Baltimore, Maryland  21202

     Dear Sir or Madam:
             
              Legg Mason Tax-Free Income Fund ("Trust") is an unincorporated
     voluntary association organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
     Massachusetts pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 21, 1990
     and amended on January 31, 1991, March 11, 1991, June 26, 1992, and August
     1, 1994.  We understand that the Trust is about to file Rule 24f-2 Notices
     pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
     amended, for the purpose of making definite the number of shares of
     beneficial interest, par value $.001 per share ("Shares") in the Legg
     Mason Pennsylvania Tax-Free Income Trust, Legg Mason Maryland Tax-Free
     Income Trust and Legg Mason Tax-Free Intermediate-Term Income Trust
     ("Funds"), portfolios of the Trust, which the Trust has registered under
     the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and which were sold during the
     fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.

              We have, as counsel, participated in various business and other
     matters relating to the Trust.  We have examined copies, either certified
     or otherwise proved to be genuine, of the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws
     of the Trust, the minutes of meetings of the trustees and other documents
     relating to the organization and operation of the Trust, and we generally
     are familiar with its business affairs.  Based on the foregoing, it is our
     opinion that the Shares of the Funds sold during the fiscal year ended
     March 31, 1995, the registration of which will be made definite by the
     filing of the Rule 24f-2 Notices, were legally issued, fully paid and non-
     assessable.  We express no opinion as to compliance with the Securities
     Act of 1933, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or applicable state
     securities laws in connection with the sales of Shares.

              The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a
     "Massachusetts business trust."  Under Massachusetts law, shareholders
     could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the
     obligations of the Trust.  The Declaration of Trust states that creditors
     of, contractors with and claimants against the Trust shall look only to
     the assets of the Trust for payment.  It also requires that notice of such
     disclaimer be given on each note, bond, contract, certificate, undertaking
     or instrument made or issued by the officers or the Trustees of the Trust
     on behalf of the Trust.  The Declaration of Trust further provides (i) for
     indemnification out of assets of the applicable Series of the Trust for
     all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for the
<PAGE>

     obligations of such Series of the Trust solely by virtue of ownership of
     Shares of such Series of the Trust and (ii) for the applicable Series of
     the Trust to assume the defense of any claim against the shareholder for
     any act or obligation of such Series of the Trust.  Thus, the risk of a
     shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability
     for the obligations of the Trust is limited to circumstances in which the
     Trust would be unable to meet its obligations.

              We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the Rule 24f-2
     Notices which you are about to file with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.  We also consent to the reference to our firm under the
     caption "Legg Mason Tax-Free Income Fund's Legal Counsel" in the Statement
     of Additional Information filed as part of the Registration Statement.

                                       Sincerely yours,

                                       KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP
