REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Senior
Floating-Rate Trust:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (the
"Trust") as of and for the year ended October 31, 2012, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we
considered the Trust'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 Trust's internal control over
financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.
The management of the Trust 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 trust'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 trust'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
trust; (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 trust are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and trustees of the trust;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of a trust'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 a
trust's annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Trust'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 Trust'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 October 31,
2012.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of management and the Trustees of Eaton Vance Senior
Floating-Rate 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.

	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

any duties with respect to, and shall not be
responsible for, the management of the Fund's
assets or the rendering of investment advice and

rendered and the facilities to be provided by the

facilities, such compensation shall be set forth in a
new agreement or in an amendment to this
Agreement to be entered into by the parties hereto.

	4.	Other Interests.  It is understood that
Trustees, officers and shareholders of the Fund are
or may be or become interested in the
Administrator as trustees, officers, employees,
shareholders or otherwise and that trustees, officers,
employees and shareholders of the Administrator
are or may be or become similarly interested in the
Fund, and that the Administrator may be or become
interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.
It is also understood that trustees, officers,

other companies or entities (including, without
limitation, other investment companies) that the
Administrator may organize, sponsor or acquire, or
with which it may merge or consolidate, and which
may include the words "Eaton Vance" or any
combination thereof as part of their name, and that
the Administrator or its subsidiaries or affiliates may
enter into advisory or management or
administration agreements or other contracts or
relationship with such other companies or entities.

	5.	Limitation of Liability of the
Administrator.  The services of the Administrator to
the Fund are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Administrator being free to render services to
others and engage in other business activities.  In
the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or
duties hereunder on the part of the Administrator,
the Administrator shall not be subject to liability to

act or omission in the course of, or connected with,
rendering services hereunder or for any losses which
may be sustained in the acquisition, holding or
disposition of any security or other investment.

	6.	Duration and Termination of this
Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective
upon the date of its execution, and, unless
terminated as herein provided, shall remain in full
force and effect through and including the second
anniversary of the execution of this Agreement and
shall continue in full force and effect indefinitely
thereafter, but only so long as such continuance
after such date is specifically approved at least
annually (i) by the Board of Trustees of the Fund and
(ii) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not interested persons of the
Administrator or the Fund.

	Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty
(60) days' prior written notice to the other,
terminate this Agreement without the payment of
any penalty, by action of the Trustees of the Fund or
the trustee of the Administrator, as the case may be,
and the Fund may, at any time upon such written
notice to the Administrator, terminate the
Agreement by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund.  This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment.

	7.	Amendments of the Agreement.  This
Agreement may be amended by a writing signed by
both parties hereto, provided that no amendment
to this Agreement shall be effective until approved
(i) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not interested persons of the
Administrator or the Fund, and (ii) by vote of the
Board of Trustees of the Fund.

	8.	Limitation of Liability.  Each party
expressly acknowledges the provision in the other
party's Agreement and Declaration of Trust limiting
the personal liability of trustees, officers and
shareholders, and each party hereby agrees that it
shall only have recourse to the assets of the other
party for payment of claims or obligations arising
out of this Agreement and shall not seek satisfaction
from the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the
other party.

	9.	Use of the Name "Eaton Vance."  The
Administrator hereby consents to the use by the
Fund of the name "Eaton Vance" as part of the
Fund's name; provided, however, that such consent
shall be conditioned upon the employment of the
Administrator or one of its affiliates as the
administrator of the Fund.  The name "Eaton
Vance" or any variation thereof may be used from
time to time in other connections and for other
purposes by the Administrator and its affiliates and
other investment companies that have obtained
consent to the use of the name "Eaton Vance."
The Administrator shall have the right to require the
Fund to cease using the name "Eaton Vance" as
part of the Fund's name if the Fund ceases, for any
reason, to employ the Administrator or one of its
affiliates as the Fund's administrator.  Future names
adopted by the Fund for itself, insofar as such names
include identifying words requiring the consent of
the Administrator, shall be the property of the
Administrator and shall be subject to the same terms
and conditions.

	10.	Certain Definitions.  The terms
"assignment" and "interested persons" when
used herein shall have the respective meanings
specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
now in effect or as hereafter amended subject,
however, to such exemptions as may be granted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission by any rule,
regulation or order.  The term "vote of a majority of
the outstanding voting securities" shall mean the
vote of the lesser of (a) 67 per centum or more of
the shares of the Fund present or represented by
proxy at the meeting if the holders of more than 50
per centum of the outstanding shares of the Fund
are present or represented by proxy at the meeting,
or (b) more than 50 per centum of the outstanding
shares of the Fund.



	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto
have caused this Agreement to be executed on the
day and year first above written.
