Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred Income Fund,
Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred
Income Fund, Inc. ("the Fund") as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2017, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), we considered the
Fund'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 Fund'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.

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 fund'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 fund'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 fund; (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 fund are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the fund; and (3)  provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a fund'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 Fund's annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund'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
Fund'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, 2017.

This report is intended solely for the information and
use of management and the Board of Directors of
Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred Income Fund,
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.
