In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index
Fund, Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value Index Fund, Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund,
Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund, Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund and
Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund (six of the funds constituting Vanguard Admiral Funds,
hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of and for the year ended August 31, 2019, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(“PCAOB”), we considered the Funds’ 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 Funds’ internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control
over financial reporting.

The management of the Funds 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
directors 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 company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Funds’ 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 PCAOB.
However, we noted no deficiencies in the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as
defined above as of August 31, 2019.

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.
