The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust

In   planning  and  performing  our  audit  of  the  financial
statements  of Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust  for  the
year  ended  October  31,  2000, 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,
not to provide assurance on internal control.

The  management  of Putnam Managed Municipal Income  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 entity's  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 internal control, errors or
fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also, projection of  any
evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to
the  risk that it may become inadequate because of changes  in
conditions  or  that  the  effectiveness  of  the  design  and
operation may deteriorate.

Our  consideration of internal control would  not  necessarily
disclose  all  matters  in  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
misstatements 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  internal
control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities,  which  we consider to be material  weaknesses  as
defined above as of October 31, 2000.

This report is intended solely for the information and use  of
management  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Putnam  Managed
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.
