Each Vanguard fund bears its proportionate share of the "at-cost" expenses of the Vanguard CMT Fund in which it invests. (C) 2004 The Vanguard Group, Inc. All rights reserved.

PSCMT 072004 EX-99 3 b77.txt PWC LETTER Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard PRIMECAP Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2005 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2015 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2025 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2035 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2045 Fund In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Vanguard PRIMECAP Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2005 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2015 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2025 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2035 Fund, and Vanguard Target Retirement Income 2045 Fund (comprising the Vanguard Chester Funds, the "Funds") for the period from September 1, 2004 to September 30, 2004, we considered their internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control. The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of their design and operation may deteriorate. Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness, for purposes of this report, is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of September 30, 2004. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Trustees, management and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP November 3, 2004 1 2 EX-99 4 q77.txt FISCAL YEAR END INFOR These Funds changed their fiscal year end to September 30, 2004, effective September 30, 2004. Effective July 19, 2004, the Funds adopted a new policy-- each Fund may invet its daily cash balance in one or more Vanguard CMT Funds. Please see the attached sticker filed with the SEC on July 19, 2004. Please note that this new policy was previously reported for the Chester Funds (August 31, 2004 NSAR). -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
