INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
The BlackRock Income Trust Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of The
BlackRock Income Trust Inc. (the Trust) for the year ended October 31, 2001
(on which we have issued our report dated December 7, 2001), 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 Trusts 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 entitys
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 Trusts 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 misstatments 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 Trusts internal control and its operation, including controls
for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
October 31, 2001.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Shareholders and Board of Directors of The BlackRock Income Trust 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.
