Washington, DC 20549 Commissioners: We have read the statements made by Eaton Vance Global Growth Portfolio (copy attached), which we understand will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Item 77K of Form N-SAR, as part of the Form N-SAR of Eaton Vance Global Growth Portfolio to be dated October 29, 2007. We agree with the statements concerning our Firm in such Form N-SAR. Very truly yours, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Eaton Vance Management The Eaton Vance Building 255 State Street, Boston, MA 02109 (617) 482-8260 October 15, 2007 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 125 High Street Boston, Massachusetts 02110 Dear Sirs: In accordance with the requirements of item 304 of Regulation S-K, please provide us with a letter(s) from your firm addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating your agreement with the statements made in the enclosed attachment with respect to certain Eaton Vance Funds and Portfolios as referred to therein. A copy of your letter will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, along with the statement as attached, as an exhibit to the respective Fund's or Portfolio's next Form N-SAR for the period ended August 31, 2007 (in accordance with Item 77K of Form N-SAR). Sincerely, Barbara E. Campbell Vice President, Eaton Vance Management Applicable to Eaton Vance Global Growth Fund and Portfolio, Eaton Vance Multi-Cap Growth Fund and Portfolio, and Eaton Vance Worldwide Health Sciences Fund and Portfolio: OTTHER MATTERS Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm On August 6, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned in the ordinary course as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund and Portfolio effective upon completion of services related to the audit for the Fund's and Portfolio's 2007 fiscal year. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Fund's and Portfolio's financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. There have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during the Fund's and Portfolio's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Fund's and Portfolio's financial statements for such years, and there were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At a meeting held on August 6, 2007, based on Audit Committee recommendations and approvals, the full Board of Trustees of the Fund and Portfolio approved Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Fund's and Portfolio's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008. To the best of the Fund's and Portfolio's knowledge, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2006, and through October 15, 2007, the Fund and Portfolio did not consult with Deloitte & Touche LLP on items which concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund's and Portfolio's financial statements or concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K). EX-99.77B ACCT LTTR 3 icglbgrwport83107.txt GLOBAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO INTERNAL CONTROL LETTER 8-31-2007 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Trustees of Eaton Vance Global Growth Portfolio In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Eaton Vance Global Growth Portfolio ("the Portfolio") as of and for the year ended August 31, 2007, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for 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-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. The management of the Portfolio 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. Such internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that 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 control deficiency 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 significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our consideration of the Portfolio'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 over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of August 31, 2007. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Trustees of Eaton Vance Global Growth Portfolio and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
