<TEXT>
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Templeton Global
Income Fund:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Templeton Global Income Fund (the "Fund") as of and for the period
ended December 31, 2016, 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 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 Fund's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting.

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 fund'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 fund'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 fund; (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 fund are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and trustees of the
fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a fund'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 Fund's annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund'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 over financial
reporting 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's internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
December 31, 2016.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management
and the Board of Trustees of Templeton Global Income Fund and the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by
anyone other than these specified parties.
