Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust (the Fund), as of and
for the year ended September 30, 2015, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), we considered the Funds 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 NSAR, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Funds internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we
express no such opinion.
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 companys 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 (GAAP).
A companys 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 GAAP, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and trustees of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of the companys 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 funds annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Funds 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
Funds internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that
we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of
September 30, 2015.

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