TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

   We are pleased to provide you with Legg Mason Tax-Free Income Fund's
semi-annual report for the six months ended September 30, 1999. This report
includes financial information for the Primary Class of the three series of the
Fund: Maryland Tax-Free, Pennsylvania Tax-Free and Tax-Free Intermediate.

   The following table summarizes key statistics for each Fund, as of September
30, 1999:

                                                Average          Net Asset Value
                             SEC Yield*     Weighted Maturity       Per Share
                             ----------     -----------------       ---------
 Maryland Tax-Free             4.50%          14.78 Years             $15.49
 Pennsylvania Tax-Free         4.51%          15.38 Years              15.64
 Tax-Free Intermediate         3.94%           7.53 Years              15.17

   Each of the Funds seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal
income tax. Maryland Tax-Free also seeks income which is exempt from Maryland
state and local income taxes, and Pennsylvania Tax-Free also seeks income which
is exempt from Pennsylvania personal income tax. The Funds purchase only
securities which have received investment grade ratings from Moody's Investors
Service or Standard & Poor's, or which are judged by their investment adviser to
be of comparable quality. Moody's ratings of securities currently owned by the
Funds are:
                             Maryland        Pennsylvania          Tax-Free
                             Tax-Free          Tax-Free          Intermediate
                             --------          --------          ------------
  Aaa                          46.4%             70.9%              69.2%
  Aa                           32.3              22.1               19.8
  A                            13.8               1.4                6.8
  Baa                           2.8                --                1.2
  Short-term securities         4.7               5.6                3.0

   In common with most other bond funds, net asset values per share of each of
the Funds have declined over the past year in response to rising interest rates.
For the six months ended September 30, 1999, total returns for Maryland
Tax-Free, Pennsylvania Tax-Free and Tax-Free Intermediate were -2.84%, -2.93%
and -1.14%, respectively. (Total return measures investment performance in terms
of appreciation or depreciation in net asset value per share plus dividends and
any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were
reinvested at the time they were paid. The initial sales charge for each Fund is
being waived through July 31, 2000, and no initial sales charges are reflected
in the total return calculations above.) Past performance does not guarantee
future results.

   Normally, the average weighted maturity for Maryland Tax-Free and
Pennsylvania Tax-Free will be kept within a range of 12 to 24 years. Because of
their relatively long average weighted maturities, these Funds offer potentially
higher yields than short-term and intermediate-term tax-free bond funds.
However, their net asset values per share typically will decline more when
interest rates rise and gain more when interest rates fall than net asset values
per share of tax-free bond funds with short- and intermediate-term average
weighted maturities. Tax-Free Intermediate's weighted average

- --------------
*SEC yields reported are for the 30 days ended September 30, 1999. If no fees
had been waived by the Adviser, the 30-day SEC yields for Maryland Tax-Free,
Pennsylvania Tax-Free and Tax-Free Intermediate would have been 4.26%, 4.15% and
3.63%, respectively.

maturity is normally kept within an intermediate-term maturity range of 2 to 10
years. We expect that, in most market periods, Tax-Free Intermediate will offer
greater price stability than municipal bond funds with longer maturities, while
earning somewhat lower yields.

   With less than three months to go until the end of the century, attention
continues to focus on the Year 2000 issue. As you know, the Year 2000 issue is a
computer programming problem that affects the ability of computers to correctly
process dates of January 1, 2000, and beyond. We believe the Year 2000 date
change will have no adverse impact on Legg Mason's ability to service its
clients. We are on target to complete this important project. Industry-wide
testing sponsored by the Securities Industry Association ("SIA") was conducted
in March and April of 1999, with Legg Mason, its brokerage subsidiaries and
primary vendors actively participating and achieving positive results.

   Legg Mason's Year 2000 Project has four phases. The Inventory Phase and the
Assessment Phase are already complete. The Remediation Phase and the Testing
Phase are currently underway and on target. Renovation and replacement of
existing internal systems, where necessary, is also complete, and all of our
critical vendors have certified their Year 2000 compliance. Most noncritical
vendors have also certified their Year 2000 compliance, and we expect the
remaining vendors to certify their compliance shortly. Although individual
customer testing will not be available, we have successfully tested models
representing all forms of accounts maintained at Legg Mason, including the
Funds' shareholder accounts.

   Some shareholders regularly add to their holdings by authorizing monthly
transfers from their bank checking or Legg Mason accounts. Your Financial
Advisor will be happy to help you make these arrangements if you would like to
purchase shares in this convenient way.


                                   Sincerely,


                                   /s/ John F. Curley, Jr.

      (A)Pre-refunded bond -- Bonds are referred to as pre-refunded when the
         issue has been advance refunded by a subsequent issue. The original
         issue is usually escrowed with U.S. Treasury securities in an amount
         sufficient to pay the interest, principal and call premium, if any, to
         the earliest call date. On that call date, the bond "matures."

         The pre-refunded date is used in determining weighted average portfolio
         maturity.

      (B)Zero-coupon bond -- A bond with no periodic interest payments which is
         sold at such a discount as to produce a current yield to maturity.
      (C)The rate shown is the rate as of September 30, 1999, and the maturity
         shown is the longer of the next interest readjustment date or the date
         the original principal amount owed can be recovered through demand.
      (D)Sales charges are being waived for the period November 1, 1997 through
         July 31, 2000. If the sales charge were in effect, the maximum offering
         price at September 30, 1999, would have been $15.93.

      (A)Pre-refunded bond -- Bonds are referred to as pre-refunded when the
         issue has been advance refunded by a subsequent issue. The original
         issue is usually escrowed with U.S. Treasury securities in an amount
         sufficient to pay the interest, principal and call premium, if any, to
         the earliest call date. On that call date, the bond "matures." The
         pre-refunded date is used in determining weighted average portfolio
         maturity.
      (B)Zero-coupon bond -- A bond with no periodic interest payments which is
         sold at such a discount as to produce a current yield to maturity.
      (C)The rate shown is the rate as of September 30, 1999, and the maturity
         shown is the longer of the next interest readjustment date or the date
         the original principal amount owed can be recovered through demand.
      (D)Sales charges are being waived for the period November 1, 1997 to July
         31, 2000. If the sales charge were in effect, the maximum offering
         price at September 30, 1999, would have been $16.08.

      (A)Zero-coupon bond -- A bond with no periodic interest payments which is
         sold at such a discount as to produce a current yield to maturity.
      (B)Pre-refunded bond -- Bonds are referred to as pre-refunded when the
         issue has been advance refunded by a subsequent issue. The original
         issue is usually escrowed with U.S. Treasury securities in an amount
         sufficient to pay the interest, principal and call premium, if any, to
         the earliest call date. On the call date, the bond "matures." The
         pre-refunded date is used in determining weighted average portfolio
         maturity.
      (C)The rate shown is the rate as of September 30, 1999, and the maturity
         shown is the longer of the next interest readjustment date or the date
         the principal amount owed can be recovered through demand.
      (D)Sales charges are being waived for the period August 1, 1995 to July
         31, 2000. If the sales charge were in effect, the maximum offering
         price at September 30, 1999, would have been $15.48.

Legg Mason Tax-Free Income Fund
(Amounts in Thousands)  (Unaudited)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
           The Legg Mason Tax-Free Income Fund ("Trust"), consisting of the
      Maryland Tax-Free Income Trust ("Maryland Tax-Free"), the Pennsylvania
      Tax-Free Income Trust ("Pennsylvania Tax-Free") and the Tax-Free
      Intermediate-Term Income Trust ("Tax-Free Intermediate") (each a "Fund"),
      is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
      open-end management investment company. All series of the Trust are
      non-diversified.
           Each Fund consists of two classes of shares: Primary Class, offered
      since May 1, 1991, for Maryland Tax-Free; since August 1, 1991, for
      Pennsylvania Tax-Free; and since August 1, 1991, for Tax-Free
      Intermediate, and Navigator Class, offered to certain institutional
      investors since March 10, 1998, for Pennsylvania Tax-Free. Information
      about the Navigator Class is contained in a separate report to its
      shareholders. The Navigator Classes of Maryland Tax-Free and Tax-Free
      Intermediate have not commenced operations. The income and expenses of a
      Fund are allocated proportionately to the two classes of shares except for
      Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, which are charged only on Primary Class
      shares, and transfer agent and shareholder servicing expenses, which are
      determined separately for each class.

      Security Valuation
           Portfolio securities are valued based upon market quotations obtained
      from an independent pricing service. When market quotations are not
      readily available, securities are valued based on prices received from
      recognized broker-dealers in the same or similar securities. Fixed income
      securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the
      amortized cost method, which approximates current market value.
           Maryland Tax-Free and Pennsylvania Tax-Free each follow an investment
      policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state.
      Economic changes affecting either of those states and certain of its
      public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within
      that state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal
      obligations held by either of those Funds.

      Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders
           Interest income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Bond
      premiums are amortized for financial reporting and federal income tax
      purposes. Bond discounts, other than original issue and zero-coupon bonds,
      are not amortized for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
      Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are allocated at the
      class level and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net
      investment income will be declared daily and paid monthly. When available,
      net capital gain distributions, which are calculated at the Fund level,
      are declared and paid after the end of the tax year in which the gain is
      realized. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income
      tax regulations, which may differ from those determined in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic
      reclassifications are made within the Funds' capital accounts to reflect
      income and gains available for distribution under federal income tax
      regulations. At September 30, 1999, accrued dividends payable were as
      follows: Maryland Tax-Free, $320; Pennsylvania Tax-Free, $155; and
      Tax-Free Intermediate, $112.

      Security Transactions
           Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains
      and losses from security transactions are reported on an identified cost
      basis for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

                                                                              25

           At September 30, 1999, receivables for securities sold and payables
      for securities purchased for each Fund were as follows:

                                    Receivable for            Payable for
                                    Securities Sold      Securities Purchased

      Pennsylvania Tax-Free                40                       --
      Tax-Free Intermediate                --                      203

      Federal Income Taxes
           No provision for federal income or excise taxes is required since
      each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company
      and distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.

      Use of Estimates
           Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the
      financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Other
           Compensating balance credits reflect credits earned on daily,
      uninvested cash balances at the custodian, and are used to reduce each
      Fund's expenses.

2. Investment Transactions:
           For the six months ended September 30, 1999, investment transactions
      (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:


                                          Purchases        Proceeds From Sales
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Maryland Tax-Free                    $20,573              $25,363
      Pennsylvania Tax-Free                 12,715               10,943
      Tax-Free Intermediate                 10,631               10,435

           At September 30, 1999, cost, gross unrealized appreciation and gross
      unrealized depreciation based on the cost of securities for federal income
      tax purposes for each Fund were as follows:

3. Repurchase Agreements:
           All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by obligations
      issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies, and such collateral is in
      the possession of the Funds' custodian. The value of such collateral
      includes accrued interest. Risks arise from the possible delay in recovery
      or potential loss of rights in the collateral should the issuer of the
      repurchase agreement fail financially. The Funds' investment adviser,
      acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value
      of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with
      which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential
      risks.

4. Transactions With Affiliates:
           Each Fund has an investment advisory and management agreement with
      Legg Mason Capital Management, Inc. ("Adviser"). Pursuant to their
      respective agreements, the Adviser provides the Funds with investment
      advisory and management services for which each Fund pays a fee, computed
      daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.55% of each Fund's
      average daily net assets.
           The Adviser has agreed to waive its fees in any month to the extent a
      Fund's expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage and extraordinary
      expenses) exceed during that month certain annual rates. The following
      chart shows the annual rate of management fees; expense limits and their
      expiration dates; total management fees waived; and management fees
      payable for each Fund:

           Legg Mason also has an agreement with the Funds' transfer agent to
      assist it with some of its duties. For this assistance, the transfer agent
      paid Legg Mason the following amounts for the six months ended September
      30, 1999: Maryland Tax-Free, $9; Pennsylvania Tax-Free, $2; and Tax-Free
      Intermediate, $3.
           The Adviser, LMFA and Legg Mason are corporate affiliates and wholly
      owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc.

5. Line of Credit:
           The Funds, along with certain other Legg Mason Funds, participate in
      a $200 million line of credit ("Credit Agreement") to be utilized as an
      emergency source of cash in the event of unanticipated large redemption
      requests by shareholders. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each
      participating Fund is liable only for principal and interest payments
      related to borrowings made by that Fund. Borrowings under the line of
      credit bear interest at prevailing short-term interest rates. For the six
      months ended September 30, 1999, the Funds had no borrowings under the
      line of credit.

6. Fund Share Transactions:
           At September 30, 1999, there were unlimited shares authorized at
      $.001 par value for all Funds of the Trust. Share transactions were as
      follows:
