Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Delaware Group Adviser Funds, Inc.
In planning and performing our audits of the financial
statementsof Delaware Group Adviser Funds, Inc. (the "Funds") for
the yearended October 31, 1999, we considered its internal
control,including control activities for safeguarding securities,
inorder to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose
ofexpressing our opinion on the financial statements and to
complywith the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance oninternal control.
The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing
andmaintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility,estimates and judgments by management are required
to assess theexpected benefits and related costs of controls.
Generally,controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the
entity'sobjective of preparing financial statements for external
purposesthat are fairly presented in conformity with generally
acceptedaccounting principles. Those controls include the
safeguardingof assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors
orfraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of
anyevaluation of internal control to future periods is subject
tothe risk that it may become inadequate because of changes
inconditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operationmay deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not
necessarilydisclose all matters in internal control that might be
materialweaknesses under standards established by the American
Instituteof Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is
acondition in which the design or operation of one or more of
theinternal control components does not reduce to a relatively
lowlevel the risk that misstatement caused by error or fraud
inamounts that would be material in relation to the
financialstatements being audited may occur and not be detected
within atimely period by employees in the normal course of
performingtheir assigned functions. However, we noted no matters
involvinginternal control and its operation, including controls
forsafeguarding securities, that we consider to be
materialweaknesses as defined above at October 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
ofmanagement, the Board of Directors of the Fund, and
theSecurities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be
andshould not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
