Re:        Eaton Vance Municipal Income Trust (the “Registrant”) (Registration No. 333-227660)

Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1

Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of the above-referenced Registrant, transmitted herewith for filing on behalf of Eaton Vance Municipal Income Trust (the “Municipal Trust”), pursuant to (1) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), (2) the General Instructions to Form N-14, and (3) Regulation S-T, is Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form N-14 8C including the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, Part C and Exhibits (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement transmitted herewith contains a conformed signature page, the manually signed original of which is maintained at the office of the Registrant.

The purpose of the Registration Statement is to register the Municipal Trust shares to be issued in connection with the reorganizations by and among the Municipal Trust, Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Trust (the “Ohio Fund”), Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipal Income Trust (the “Pennsylvania Fund”) and Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Trust (the “Massachusetts Fund” and together with the Ohio Fund and Pennsylvania Fund, the “Acquired Funds”). Included in the Registration Statement, therefore, are a notice of meeting and form of proxy card, which are proposed to be used by the Acquired Funds for a special joint meeting of its shareholders to be held on December 20, 2018.

The registration fee of $14,258.06 has been wired through the FEDWIRE system.

It is intended that the Registration Statement will become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to Section 8(a) of the 1933 Act, may determine.

If you have any questions or comments concerning the foregoing, please contact the undersigned at (617) 672-6170.

Very truly yours,
