                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS    
  
  
    
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees    
  of Franklin Real Estate Securities Trust:    
    
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements  
and financial highlights of Franklin Real Estate Securities Trust 
for the year ended April 30, 1995, 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  financial highlights and to comply with 
the requirements of Form  N-SAR, not to provide assurance on the 
internal control structure.      
 
The management of the Franklin Real Estate Securities Trust is  
responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control 
structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and  
judgements 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 that 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  and financial highlights 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 April 30, 1995.   
   
This report is intended solely for the information and use of   
management of the Franklin Real Estate Securities Trust and the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.
