INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustees and Shareholders of
BlackRock Municipal Income Trust

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of BlackRock
Municipal Income Trust (the "Trust") 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 Trust's internal control.

The management of the Trust 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 Trust's internal control would not necessarily disclose
all matters in the 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
Trust'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 BlackRock Municipal Income Trust, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and
Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") require a
Trust's officers and Directors/Trustees, officers and directors of the Trust's
investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser, and persons
who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Trust's Shares to file certain
reports of ownership ("Section 16 filings") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange (as
applicable) and each of the Trusts. As a convenience to the Directors/Trustees,
[BlackRock (the investment adviser to the Trusts) assists the Directors/Trustees
and officers in making their Section 16 filings. Based upon each Trust's review
of the copies of such forms effecting the Section 16 filings received by it,
each Trust believes that for its fiscal year ended in 2002, all filings
applicable to such persons were completed and filed, except for those instances
discussed below. During fiscal year 2002, it came to the attention of the Trusts
that, due to an administrative oversight, Form 5s had not been filed on behalf
of Messrs. Cavanagh, Mondale, LaForce, and Brimmer with respect to certain share
equivalents credited to them in one or more of BCT, BKT, BNA, BHY, BHK and/or
BHD pursuant to deemed quarterly investments under the Trust's deferred
compensation plan in fiscal years 2001 and 2002. For such quarterly deferred
compensation transactions in 2000 and 2001, Form 5s in respect of 2000 and 2001
were filed in September of 2002. In addition, due to administrative oversight,
one late report was filed on behalf of each of Messrs. Cavanagh (BHK), La Force
(BHD) and Kapito (BNJ) with respect to one transaction each. In addition,
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act requires that an investment company's investment
adviser and certain of the investment adviser's affiliates file Form 3s with
respect to the Trusts. For each of BCT, BKT, BNA, BHY, BHK, BHD, BKN, BBF, BFK,
BFZ, BNJ, and BNY, the Trust's investment adviser and/or certain affiliates of
the investment adviser either acting as sub-advisor to a Trust or owning Trust
shares filed late Form 3s in October of 2002.
