The Board of Directors,
Flag Investors Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Flag
Investors Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. for the year ended March 31, 1997,
(on which we have issued our report dated May 2, 1997), 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 to comply with the requirements of Form
N-SAR, not to provide assurance on the internal control structure.
The management of Flag Investors Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. 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 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 operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the 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 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
March 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
