                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of Scudder Portfolio Trust and
Shareholders of Scudder Income Fund:


     In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements and
financial highlights of Scudder Income Fund (the Fund) for the year ended
December 31, 1994, we considered its internal control structure, including
procedures for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and financial highlights and to comply with the requirements of
Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on the internal control structure.

     The management of Scudder Income 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 internal control
structure policies and procedures. Two of the objectives of an internal
control structure 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 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 operations may deteriorate.

     Our consideration of the Fund's internal control structure 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 the specific internal control
structure 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 and financial highlights 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 structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses, as
defined above, as of December 31, 1994.

     This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management of Scudder Income and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
