Sub-Item 77K: Changes in Registrant's certifying accountant:

On March 17, 2005, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned as independent registered
public accountants for Ellsworth Convertible Growth and Income Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund").  The Fund's audit committee appointed Tait, Weller & Baker as
independent accountants for the Fund on April 12, 2005 for the 2005 fiscal year,
which appointment was ratified by the Fund's independent directors.  The reports
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Fund's financial statements for each of the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 contained no
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  During the Fund's fiscal
years ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004 and during the period
October 1, 2004 through March 17, 2005, there have been no disagreements with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused
them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for
such years.

The Fund requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it
agrees with the above statements.  A copy of such letter, dated May 23, 2005,
is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-SAR.

Sub-Item 77L: Changes in Accounting Principles and Practices

Changes in Method of Accounting For Bond Premium and Discount Amortization

Effective October 1, 2004, the Fund began amortizing discounts and premiums on
all debt securities.  Prior to October 1, 2004, the Fund amortized discounts on
original issue discount debt securities.  The new method of amortization was
adopted in accordance with the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting
Guide, Audits of Investment Companies and the financial highlights and statement
of changes in net assets presented in the March 31, 2005 semi-annual reports to
shareholders have been restated to reflect the new method retroactive to October
1, 2001.

The effect of this accounting change is included in the financial highlights for
the years ended September 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, and in the statement of
changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2004.  The cumulative
effect of this accounting change had no impact on the total net assets of the
Fund or on distributions for tax purposes, but resulted in a $79,579 increase in
the cost of securities held and a corresponding $79,579 reduction in the net
unrealized gains based on the securities held on October 1, 2001.  The impact of
this change during the six months ended March 31, 2005 was to reduce net
investment income by $7,898, reduce unrealized gains by $211,151 and increase
realized gains by $219,049.  These changes had no effect on previously reported
total net assets or total returns.
