INTERNAL CONTROL RPT

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate
Income Trust:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (the "Trust") as of
and for the year ended May 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 trust'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 trust'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 trust; (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 trust are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and trustees of the trust; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a
trust'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 May 31, 2021.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Trustees of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate
Income Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission and
is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

ADVISORY CONTRACTS

EATON VANCE FLOATING-RATE INCOME TRUST

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

            AGREEMENT made as of this 12^th day of May, 2021, between Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Trust”), and Eaton Vance Management, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Adviser”).

            1.         Duties of the Adviser.  The Trust hereby employs the Adviser to act as investment adviser for and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Trust and to administer its investment affairs, subject to the supervision of the Trustees of the Trust, for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

            (a)        The Adviser hereby accepts such employment, and undertakes to afford to the Trust the advice and assistance of the Adviser’s organization in the choice of investments and in the purchase and sale of securities for the Trust and to furnish for the use of the Trust office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Trust and for administering its investment affairs and to pay the salaries and fees of all officers and Trustees of the Trust who are members of the Adviser’s organization and all personnel of the Adviser performing services relating to research and investment activities.  The Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trust.

            (b)        The Adviser shall provide the Trust with such investment management and supervision as the Trust may from time to time consider necessary for the proper supervision of the Trust’s investments.  As investment adviser to the Trust, the Adviser shall furnish continuously an investment program and shall determine from time to time what securities and other investments shall be acquired, disposed of or exchanged and what portion of the Trust’s assets shall be held uninvested, subject always to the applicable restrictions of the Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and registration statement of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Trust, to buy, sell, and otherwise trade in any and all types of securities, commodities, derivatives and investment instruments on behalf of the Trust. Should the Trustees of the Trust at any time, however, make any specific determination as to investment policy for the Trust and notify the Adviser thereof in writing, the Adviser shall be bound by such determination for the period, if any, specified in such notice or until similarly notified that such determination has been revoked.  The Adviser shall take, on behalf of the Trust, all actions that it deems necessary or desirable to implement the investment policies of the Trust.

            (c)        The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio investments for the account of the Trust either directly with the issuer or with brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants, or other market participants selected by the Adviser, and, to that end, the Adviser is authorized, as the agent of the Trust, to give instructions to the custodian of the Trust as to deliveries of investments and payments of cash for the account of the Trust.  In connection with the selection of such brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants, or other market participants and the placing of such orders, the Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute security transactions at prices that are advantageous to the Trust and (when a disclosed commission is being charged) at commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. Subject to the policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, in selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Adviser and the Adviser is expressly authorized to cause the Trust to pay any broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a security transaction which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to the Trust and to other accounts over which they exercise investment discretion.

APPENDIX A

For the services, payments and facilities furnished by the Adviser under this Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive from the Trust compensation as set forth below:

A fee in an amount equal to 0.75% annually of the average daily gross assets of the Trust.  For purposes of this calculation, “gross assets” of the Trust shall mean total assets of the Trust, including any form of investment leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities, (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Trust’s investment objectives and policies, and/or (iv) any other means.

In case of initiation or termination of the Agreement during any month with respect to the Trust, the fee for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number of calendar days during which the Agreement is in effect.

Such compensation shall be paid monthly in arrears. The Adviser may, from time to time, waive all or a part of the above compensation. 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 15, 2020, after its Board of Trustees received a
demand letter from counsel to Saba Capital
Management, L.P. and a hedge fund it advises (together
"Saba"), Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust ("EVF") filed
a complaint against Saba in Suffolk County Superior
Court in Massachusetts seeking a declaratory judgment
as to the validity of an amendment to its by-laws
requiring trustee nominees in contested elections to
obtain affirmative votes of a majority of eligible shares
in order to be elected. Saba subsequently answered this
complaint and asserted counterclaims for breach of
contract and fiduciary duty against EVF and certain
affiliates of EVF, including Eaton Vance Senior Floating-
Rate Trust ("EFR"), Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income
Trust ("EFT"), Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income
Trust ("EVV") and Eaton Vance Management, as well as
the Board. The answer and counterclaims seek, with
respect to each registered fund named as a
counterclaim defendant, rescission of the above-
referenced by-law provision, other by-law provisions
related to "control share" acquisitions and related relief.
On March 31, 2021, the court allowed in part and
denied in part a motion to dismiss Saba's
counterclaims.  On April 26, 2021, EFR, EFT and EVV
filed counterclaims against Saba seeking declaratory
judgment as to the validity of the above-referenced by-
law amendments. The case number is 2084-cv-01533-
BLS2.
