AUDIT OPINION
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Pennsylvania Tax-Free
Funds and the Shareholders of
Vanguard Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and
Vanguard Pennsylvania Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
In planning and performing our audits of the financial
statements of Vanguard Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Money
Market Fund and Vanguard Pennsylvania Long-Term Tax-
Exempt Fund (constituting Vanguard Pennsylvania Tax-Free
Funds, hereafter referred to as the ?Trust?) as of and for the year
ended November 30, 2011, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), 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-SAR, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Trust?s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's
internal control over financial reporting.
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 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 over financial reporting that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
However, we noted no deficiencies in the Trust?s internal
control over financial reporting and its operation, including
controls over safeguarding securities that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of November 30, 2011.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of Vanguard
Pennsylvania Tax-Free 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.
