Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders
Aetna Generation
Portfolios, Inc.
In planning and performing
our audits of the
financial statements
of Aetna Ascent VP,
Aetna Crossroads VP
and Aetna Legacy VP
(collectively the "Funds")
for the year
ended December 31,
1998, 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 the
Funds 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
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
imely 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 December 31, 1998.
This report is intended
solely for the
information and
use of management and

Exchange Commission
