Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income Fund, Inc.


In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Aberdeen
Asia-Pacific Income Fund, Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended October 31,
2001, 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, not to provide assurance on internal control.

The management of the Company 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 generally accepted accounting principles.  Those
controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use or
disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or
fraud may occur and
not be detected.  Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control to future
periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of their design
and operation may
deteriorate.

Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in
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 internal control and its operation,
including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2001.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
Directors, management and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
