Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Deutsche Municipal Income Trust:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Deutsche Municipal Income Trust
(the Company), as of and for the year ended
November 30, 2016, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), we considered the
Company'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's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.
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'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'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'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 company's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis.
Our consideration of the Company'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'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
November 30, 2016.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management and the Board of Trustees
of Deutsche 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.
