Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Putnam Pennsylvania Tax 
Exempt Income Fund:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of 
Putnam Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Income Fund (the Fund) as of and for the 
year ended May 31, 2022, in accordance with the standards of the Public 
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), 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 NCEN, but not for 
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds 
internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we do not 
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds 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 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.  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 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 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 the companys 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 over 
financial reporting that might be material weaknesses under standards 
established by the PCAOB.  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 material 
weaknesses as defined above as of May 31, 2022.






This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board 
of Trustees of Putnam Pennsylvania Tax Exempt 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.
