Dear
shareholder
"Providing secure income remains our top priority"
Photo of Richard J. Franke, Chairman of the Board
Over the past year the municipal market experienced the most dramatic
volatility we have seen in more than a decade. During the period, the Federal
Reserve Board undertook one of the most aggressive inflation-fighting efforts
in its history, raising interest rates six times from February through
November.
The prices of all bonds and bond funds were affected by the Fed's actions,
and the Funds covered in this report were not exceptions. In fact, because
they are newer funds, holding bonds issued when interest rates were moving
lower and bond prices were correspondingly high, these Funds were especially
sensitive to changing interest rates. The fact that your Fund is leveraged
means that it will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates--both up and
down--than unleveraged funds. Our conservative approach to portfolio
management, focused on quality and income dependability, continued throughout
this period.
Importantly, your Nuveen Fund continued to provide an attractive level of
income free from federal, state, and in some cases, local taxes. On November
30, 1994, current yields on share prices for the Funds covered in this report
ranged from 6.74% to 7.26%. To equal these yields, an investor in the 36%
federal income tax bracket would need to earn at least 10.53% on taxable
alternatives. This taxable yield is extremely difficult to achieve on
investments of comparable quality.
Of course, in investing as in any endeavor, looking back is never as
important as looking ahead. And when we take a long-term view of the municipal
market, we believe the outlook for your Fund is positively supported by
several considerations.
The Federal Reserve's attempt to hold inflation in check seems to be having
its desired effect. At this writing, the economy continues to expand at a
moderate pace and inflation remains under control.
The municipal market's supply and demand characteristics continue to be
positive. In 1994, the supply of new municipal bonds fell by approximately 40%
from 1993, a trend expected to continue in 1995. At the same time, demand for
tax-free bonds, which was subdued over the past 12 months by the market's
extraordinary volatility, is likely to resume its long-term upward trend.
This combination of lower supply--which may be reduced further by the high
volume of bond calls expected in 1995--and rising demand should help support
municipal bond prices in the long term.
Also, the financial strength of most municipal issuers continues to improve.
Combined with our value approach to investing--a disciplined approach to
security selection and portfolio construction supported by one of the largest
and most respected research teams in the municipal industry--these factors
suggest that the prospects for the municipal market and your Fund remain
attractive.
In closing, I want to welcome new investors to these Funds and thank those
who have been with us for some time.
All of us at Nuveen appreciate your confidence in our family of municipal
bond funds, and we look forward to helping you reach your tax-free investment
objectives in the future.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Franke
Chairman of the Board
January 16, 1995

Answering your questions
In January, we spoke with Tom Spalding, head of Nuveen's portfolio management
team, and asked him about recent developments in the municipal market and the
outlook for Nuveen Funds.
Why has my Fund's net asset value dropped so sharply in such a short time?
These have been difficult times for all fixed-income investors. The Bond Buyer
40 index--a measure of municipal market performance--declined by 7.4% over the
past six months. Even 30-year Treasury bonds declined by 6.3% over this
period.
These Funds are down somewhat further for two reasons. First, they are
relatively new, and their portfolios hold bonds issued when interest rates
were lower than they are today. As a result, their net asset values were
affected by interest rate changes.
Leverage increases the impact of interest rate changes on the Fund's net
asset values per common share. Leverage also enables these funds to generate a
higher level of tax-free income than unleveraged funds.
Since my Fund is leveraged, will rising short-term interest rates affect my
dividends?
With long-term bonds yielding around 6.5% and the average 7-day rate on our
short-term preferred shares just over 3.4% at November 30, leverage has
provided an important income benefit to our shareholders over the past year.
Although the Funds' dividends are set to provide relatively stable income,
steady increases in short-term interest rates will affect dividends over time.
Our leveraged funds' dividends have been highly attractive compared with both
unleveraged and taxable alternatives over the past year. We expect an income
advantage to persist over the long term despite short-term fluctuations.
All things considered, leverage continues to provide attractive returns in a
variety of market conditions to investors who understand the uses, benefits,
and characteristics of leverage, and are willing to accept somewhat higher
short-term NAV fluctuations in anticipation of greater long-range returns.
Will bond calls affect my income or the stability of the net asset value of my
shares?
Since the Funds covered in this report are relatively new and primarily hold
bonds that can't be called for several years, calls shouldn't significantly
affect their income in the near future.
In general, bond calls can mean some reduction in income for investors in
both individual bonds and bond funds, because bonds issued when interest rates
were higher need to be replaced with today's lower yielding bonds.
Older funds often hold bonds priced at premiums to their par values, which
can soften the effect of rising interest rates. However, as these bonds
approach their call dates the premiums gradually decline to the bonds' par
values, reducing net asset values. These Funds primarily hold bonds priced at
discounts to their par values, so though they are more sensitive to interest
rate changes both up and down, they are unaffected by declining premium values
as bonds approach call dates.
Of course, we're continuing to manage all of our portfolios with calls in
mind. As part of our basic management process, we continually evaluate
opportunities to sell bonds approaching their call dates and to reinvest the
proceeds in bonds we think have high potential to provide above-market
returns.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
What's the outlook for bonds issued by the states covered in this report?
Our outlook is optimistic for reasons related both to the municipal market in
general and to the economies of these states.
Looking first at the municipal market overall, inflation remains under
control, the financial condition of issuers across the country is generally
strengthening, and the market's supply and demand characteristics are
positive. That is all good news for tax-free investors.
For the states covered in this report, the outlook is also positive. Not
only are the states' financial conditions generally strengthening, the supply
of investment-grade quality bonds also is beginning to shrink while demand is
increasing.

Getting to know your fund
Yield
An exchange-traded fund's annualized monthly dividend on a given date (in the
case of this report, November 30, 1994) divided by its closing price per share
on that date.
Taxable equivalent yield
The return an investor who is subject to a given income tax rate would need to
obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the fund's stated annualized
yield on share price. In this report, those tax rates are assumed to be 39%
for NTC, 43.5% for NMT, 40% for NOM, and 36% for NPW, based on incomes of
$115,000-$250,000 for investors filing singly, $140,000-$250,000 for those
filing jointly.
Net Asset Value (NAV)
The market value of all securities and other assets held by an exchange-traded
fund, minus any liabilities. The NAV per share is the fund's net assets, less
the value of its preferred shares, divided by its total number of common
shares outstanding.
Annual total return on NAV
The percentage change in a fund's NAV per share
over the previous 12 months, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
capital gains distributions, if any.
Taxable equivalent total return
The total return an investor, who is subject to a given income tax rate would
need to obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the Fund's stated
total return on NAV.
Leverage
A fund structure that enhances the income produced for common shareholders by
a long-term municipal bond fund through the issuance of short-term preferred
shares. Preferred shareholders receive short-term tax-free income, while the
proceeds can be used to purchase additional long-term bonds, thus increasing
the portfolio's income for common shareholders. Changes in net asset value per
common share, both up and down, are also magnified.
Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its common or preferred stock in the
future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares
were repurchased during the 6-month period ended November 30, 1994. Any future
repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual
report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
At November 30, 1994, the state Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report
and their corresponding stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Connecticut Premium
Income Municipal Fund (NTC), Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income Municipal
Fund (NMT), Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM) and Nuveen
Washington Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPW). NTC and NMT are traded on the
New York Stock Exchange while NOM and NPW are traded on the American Stock
Exchange.
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
closed-end, diversified management investment companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Securities Valuation
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices or the yield
equivalent. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value by consistent application of methods
determined in good faith by the Trustees. Temporary investments in securities
that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term
securities are traded and valued at principal amount.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis may be settled a month or more after the transaction date. The
securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period.
The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets in a separate
account with a current value at least equal to the amount of their purchase
commitments. At November 30, 1994, NTC had outstanding purchase commitments
which amounted to $1,253,889. There were no such purchase commitments in any
of the other Funds.
Interest Income
Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued and discount
earned, adjusted for amortization of premiums or discounts on long-term debt
securities when required for federal income tax purposes.
Income Taxes
The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies by distributing all of their net
investment income, in addition to any significant amounts of net realized
gains from investments, to shareholders. The Funds currently consider
significant net realized gains as amounts in excess of $.01 per Common share.
Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable
interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and
designated state income taxes, to retain such tax exempt status when
distributed to shareholders of the respective Funds.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Net investment income is declared as a dividend monthly and payment is made or
reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts after month-end. Net realized
gains from investment transactions are distributed to shareholders not less
frequently than annually only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryovers.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains
from investment transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount
and timing of such distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, temporary over-distributions as a result of these
differences may result and will be classified as either distributions in
excess of net investment income or distributions in excess of net realized
gains from investment transactions, if applicable.
Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred
shares. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one Series. The dividend
rate on each Series may change every 7 days, as set by the Auction Agent. The
number of shares outstanding by Series at November 30, 1994, for each Fund is
as follows:

6. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
WITH AFFILIATES
Under the Funds' investment management agreements with Nuveen Advisory
Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company,
each Fund pays to the Adviser an annual management fee, payable monthly, at
the rates set forth below, which are based upon the average daily net asset
value of each Fund.
<CAPTION>
Average daily net asset value Management fee

to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the
Funds from the Adviser.

Certain long-term and intermediate-term investments owned by the Funds are
covered by insurance issued by several private insurers or are backed by an
escrow or trust containing U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
securities, either of which ensure the timely payment of principal and
interest in the event of default (52% for NTC, 31% for NMT, 57% for NOM, and
44% for NPW). Such insurance or escrow, however, does not guarantee the market
value of the municipal securities or the value of any of the Funds' shares.
All of the temporary investments in short-term municipal securities have
credit enhancements (letters of credit, guarantees or insurance) issued by
third party domestic or foreign banks or other institutions.
For additional information regarding each investment security, refer to the
Portfolio of Investments of each Fund.
