Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and
Board of Trustees of The Weitz Funds

In planning and performing our audits of the
financial statements of The Weitz Funds (the
"Trust") (comprising the Balanced Fund, Core
Plus Income Fund, Hickory Fund, Nebraska
Tax-Free Income Fund, Partners III
Opportunity Fund, Partners Value Fund,
Short Duration Income Fund, Ultra Short
Government Fund and Value Fund), as of
and for the year ended March 31, 2021, in
accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), we considered the
Trust's 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 Trust's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion.

The management of the Trust 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
U.S. 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 trustees
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 Trust's annual
or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.


Our consideration of the Trust's 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 PCAOB.
However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Trust's 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, 2021.

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.
