Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Accounting Controls
To the Trustees
Stagecoach Trust:
In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Stagecoach
Trust (comprising, respectively, LifePath Opportunity Fund, LifePath 2010 Fund,
LifePath 2020 Fund, LifePath 2030 Fund and LifePath 2040 Fund) (collectively the
"Funds") for the year ended February 28, 1999, we considered their internal
control, including procedures 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 Stagecoach Trust 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 controls. Generally, controls 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 controls 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 component 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 controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of February 28, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Trustees and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
