SIGNATURE VINCENT P. CORTI
TITLE SECRETARY
December 31, 1997
To the Board of Directors of
Capital World Growth and Income Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Capital World Growth and Income Fund, Inc.
(the "Fund") for the year ended November 30, 1997, we
considered its internal control, including control
activities 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 control.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of control activities. Generally, control activities that
are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective
of preparing financial statements for external purposes
that are fairly presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Those control activities
include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors
or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also,
projection of any evaluation of internal control 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 operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal control 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 any specific internal control components 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
control, including control activities for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above as of November 30, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
