<p style="margin:0in;margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Royce Value
Trust, Inc.:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">&#160;In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Royce Value Trust, Inc. (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2023, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the Fund&#8217;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 Fund&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's
internal control over financial reporting. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">The management of the Fund 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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">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. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">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. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;"><font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">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&#8217;s annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. Our consideration of the Fund&#8217;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 PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund&#8217;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 December 31, 2023. </font></p>
