Dear Mr. Rupert:
	At your request, Morgan Stanley Liquid Asset Fund Inc., on
behalf of its fund, (the "Fund"), has confirmed that Item 74W of
the Portfolio's NSAR filing for the fiscal period ended
August 31, 2009 is correct.

	In connection herewith, the Portfolio acknowledges that the
disclosure included in NSAR filing is the responsibility of the
Portfolio.  The Portfolio further acknowledges that the action of
the Commission or the staff acting pursuant to delegated authority
in reviewing the NSAR filing does not relieve the Portfolio from
its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosures in the NSAR filing; and that the Portfolio will not
assert this action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the
Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the
United States.

	Should you have any questions or would like to discuss this
matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(212) 296-6960.

						Sincerely,
