<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">Dreyfus Strategic
Municipals, Inc.</font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">In planning and
performing our audit of the financial statements of Dreyfus Strategic
Municipals, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) as of and for the year ended September 30,
2013, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Company&#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-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">The management of
the Company 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="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">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="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">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 company&#8217;s annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. </font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="line-height:13.0pt;margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:8.5pt;">Our consideration
of the Company&#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 that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Company&#8217;s internal control
over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined
above as of September 30, 2013.</font></p>
