INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Trustees and Shareholders of John Hancock
Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II: In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of John Hancock Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II (the
"Fund") 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 Fund's internal control. The management of the Fund 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 Fund's 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 the Fund'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 John Hancock
Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and
is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties. Deloitte & Touche LLP Boston, Massachusetts December 6, 2002

Based on my knowledge, the financial information included in this report, and
the financial statements on which the financial information is based, fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations,

and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-2(c) under the Investment Company Act) for
the registrant and have: a) designed the disclosure controls and procedures to
ensure that material information relating to the registrant is made known to us
by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this

disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the

procedures based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date; 5. The
registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most
recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
registrant's board of trustees: a) all significant deficiencies in the design or
operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant's
ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data and have
identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal
controls; and b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
controls; and 6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated
in this report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Date:
