and Franklin Virginia Tax-Free Income Fund (the "Funds")
as of and for the year ended February 28, 2019, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
we considered the Funds' internal control over
financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding
securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures
 for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds'
internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
 the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.

The management of the Funds is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal control
 over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls.
 A company's internal control over financial reporting
 is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
 preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company's internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and
 procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
 assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company;
 and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a company's assets that could have a material
 effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting
exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
 misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is
 a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the company's annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Funds' internal control over
 financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph and would not
 necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting that might be
material weaknesses under standards established
by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies
in the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including controls
 over safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be a material weakness as defined above as of
February 28, 2019.
