<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:'Arial'; font-size:9pt">To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Liberty All-Star&#174; Growth Fund, Inc.:</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:'Arial'; font-size:9pt">In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Liberty All-Star&#174; Growth Fund, Inc. (the <font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8220;</font>Fund<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8221;</font>), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including control 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 Fund<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8217;</font>s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:'Arial'; font-size:9pt">The management of the Fund 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.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:'Arial'; font-size:9pt">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.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:'Arial'; font-size:9pt">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.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:'Arial'; font-size:9pt">Our consideration of the Fund<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8217;</font>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 Fund<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8217;</font>s internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness, as defined above, as of December 31, 2015. </P>

<P style="margin:0px; font-family:'Arial'; font-size:9pt">This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of Liberty All-Star&#174; Growth Fund, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.</P>

<P style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:11.133px; font-family:'Arial'" align=justify>Pursuant to Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the <font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8220;</font>Exchange Act<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8221;</font>), investment advisers, or affiliated persons of investment advisers are subject to making certain filings (the <font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8220;</font>Section 16 Filings<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8221;</font>) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the <font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8220;</font>SEC<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8221;</font>) to notify the SEC of their beneficial ownership of securities in closed-end funds to which the investment adviser performs investment advisory services.&#160; When AAI assumed the advisory role for the Liberty All-Star Growth Fund, Inc. (the <font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8220;</font>Fund<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8221;</font>) in December 2006, an initial Form 3 was not filed with the SEC, as required under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.&#160; In conjunction with this, an initial Form 3 was also not filed for AAI<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8217;</font>s parent company, ALPS Holdings, Inc. (<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8220;</font>AHI<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8221;</font>).&#160;The initial Form 3 filings were made on behalf of AAI and AHI on August 11, 2015 and August 13, 2015, respectively.&#160; In addition, the Fund has communicated these requirements to the applicable sub-advisers to ensure that all of the required filings are made. There was no impact to the Fund or the Fund<font style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS,Arial'">&#8217;</font>s shareholders as a result of the missed filings.&#160; It should be noted that the appropriate filings were made for all officers and directors of the Fund and AAI. </P>
