Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and
Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")
require a Trust's officers and Directors/Trustees, officers and directors of
the Trust's investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser,
and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Trust's
Shares to file certain reports of ownership ("Section 16 filings") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange or
the American Stock Exchange (as applicable) and each of the Trusts.  As a
convenience to the Directors/Trustees, [BlackRock (the investment adviser
to the Trusts) assists the Directors/Trustees and officers in making their
Section 16 filings.  Based upon each Trust's review of the copies of such
forms effecting the Section 16 filings received by it, each Trust believes that
for its fiscal year ended in 2002, all filings applicable to such persons were
completed and filed, except for those instances discussed below.  During
fiscal year 2002, it came to the attention of the Trusts that, due to an
administrative oversight, Form 5s had not been filed on behalf of Messrs.
Cavanagh, Mondale, LaForce, and Brimmer with respect to certain share
equivalents credited to them in one or more of BCT, BKT, BNA, BHY,
BHK and/or BHD pursuant to deemed quarterly investments under the
Trust's deferred compensation plan in fiscal years 2001 and 2002. For such
quarterly deferred compensation transactions in 2000 and 2001, Form 5s in
respect of 2000 and 2001 were filed in September of 2002.  In addition, due
to administrative oversight, one late report was filed on behalf of each of
Messrs. Cavanagh (BHK), La Force (BHD) and Kapito (BNJ) with respect
to one transaction each.  In addition, Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act requires
that an investment company's investment adviser and certain of the
investment adviser's affiliates file Form 3s with respect to the Trusts.  For
each of BCT, BKT, BNA, BHY, BHK, BHD, BKN, BBF, BFK, BFZ, BNJ,
and BNY, the Trust's investment adviser and/or certain affiliates of the
investment adviser either acting as sub-advisor to a Trust or owning Trust
shares filed late Form 3s in October of 2002.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The BlackRock Income Trust Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of The
BlackRock Income Trust Inc. (the Trust) for the year ended October 31,
2002 (on which we have issued our report dated December 6, 2002), we
considered its 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, and not to provide assurance on the Trust's
internal control.

The management of the Trust 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those controls include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also, projections of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods are subject to
the risk that the
internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our consideration of the Trust's internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses
under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A material weakness 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 the Trust's internal control and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities that we consider to
be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2002.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Trustees and Shareholders of The BlackRock Income Trust Inc., and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
