under the laws of the State of Maryland on October 7, 1992 having its principal 
place of business in Des Moines, Iowa.

         We understand that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, the Fund  registered an indefinite  number of shares of its capital
stock, effective May 20, 1993.

         We further  understand that,  pursuant to the provisions of Rule 24f-2,
you are about to file  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  a notice

Gentlemen:

         Capital Value Fund,  Inc. (the "Fund") is a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Maryland on October 7, 1992, having its principal place
of business in Des Moines, Iowa.

         We understand that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, the Fund  registered an indefinite  number of shares of its capital
stock, effective May 20, 1993.

         We further  understand that,  pursuant to the provisions of Rule 24f-2,
you are about to file  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  a notice
making  definite  registration of 185,100 shares of capital stock of the Initial
Shares Class of the Fund's Total Return  Portfolio Series (the "Shares") sold in
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.

         We have examined original or copies,  certified or otherwise identified

         We are of the opinion  that all of the Shares were  legally and validly

         We express no opinion as to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933,

respect to the issuance of the Shares.
