                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
TD Waterhouse Family of Funds, Inc.

In  planning  and  performing  our  audit  of  the  financial  statements  of TD
Waterhouse Family of Funds,  Inc.  (comprising,  respectively,  the Money Market
Portfolio,   the  U.S.  Government  Portfolio,   the  Municipal  Portfolio,  the
California  Municipal  Money Market  Portfolio and the New York Municipal  Money
Market  Portfolio)  for the year ended  October  31,  2000,  we  considered  its
internal control,  including control activities for safeguarding securities,  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, and
not to provide assurance on internal control.

The  management  of TD  Waterhouse  Family of Funds,  Inc.  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 control.  Generally,  internal  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  internal
controls  include the safeguarding of assets against  unauthorized  acquisition,
use or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in internal control, misstatements due to errors
or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also,  projections of any evaluation of
internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that internal control
may become  inadequate  because of changes in conditions,  or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures 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 one or more
of the specific internal control  components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk  that  errors  or fraud 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 control activities for safeguarding securities, and its operation that
we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above at October 31, 2000.

This  report is  intended  solely  for the  information  and use of the Board of
Directors  and  management  of TD  Waterhouse  Family  of Funds,  Inc.,  and the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.
