<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">In planning and performing
our audit of the financial statements of The Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund, Inc. (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2021, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered its internal
control over financial reporting, including control activities for 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-CEN, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">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 company&#8217;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 company&#8217;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 company; (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 company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of a company&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Because of 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.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the company&#8217;s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Our consideration of
the Fund&#8217;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 that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards
established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund&#8217;s internal
control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, which we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above, as of June 30, 2021.</FONT></P>
