Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and
Board of Trustees of The Weitz Funds

In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of Value Fund,
Partners Value Fund, Partners III
Opportunity Fund, Hickory Fund, Balanced
Fund, Core Plus Income Fund, Short
Duration Income Fund, Ultra Short
Government Fund, and Nebraska Tax-Free
Income Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of
The Weitz Funds, as of and for the year
ended March 31, 2019, in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), 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 express no such opinion.

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
fund'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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. A
fund'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 fund; (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 fund are
being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and trustees
of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a fund'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 fund'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
that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States).

However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Funds' internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including
controls for safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be a material weakness as
defined above as of March 31, 2019.

This report is intended solely for the
information and use of management and the
Board of Trustees of The Weitz Funds and
the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
