In consideration of the promises and covenants herein, the parties agree as

2. In carrying out its investment management obligations, the Advisor shall:

      (a) evaluate such economic, statistical and financial information and
    undertake such investment research as it shall believe advisable; (b)
    purchase and sell securities and other investments for the Fund in
    accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees; and (c)
    report results to the Board of Trustees.

3. The Advisor shall furnish at its expense the following:

      (a) office space, supplies, facilities and equipment; (b) executive and
    other personnel for managing the affairs of the Fund (including preparing
    financial information of the Fund and reports and tax returns required to be
    filed with public authorities, but exclusive of those related to custodial,
    transfer, dividend and plan agency services, determination of net asset
    value and maintenance of records required by Section 31(a) of the Investment
    Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules thereunder (1940 Act)); and

   effective.

7.   This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of its execution, and
     (a) unless otherwise terminated, shall continue until July 31, 2003 and
     from year to year thereafter so long as approved annually in accordance
     with the 1940 Act; (b) may be terminated without penalty on sixty days'

Accountant's Report on Internal Control
[PricewaterhouseCoopers logo]
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
160 Federal Street
Boston, MA 02110-9862

                        Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Colonial High Income Municipal Trust

In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Colonial
High Income Municipal Trust (the "Fund") for the year ended November 30, 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 internal
control.

The management of the Fund 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 generally accepted accounting
principles. 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, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
November 30, 2001.

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