Re:       iShares Trust, File Nos. 333-92935 and 811-09729
          ------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We represent iShares Trust (the "Trust"), in connection with its filing of Post-
Effective Amendment No. 16 (the "Post-Effective Amendment") to the Trust's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") and the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Post-Effective
Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act.

We have reviewed the Post-Effective Amendment and, in accordance with Rule
485(b)(4) under the Securities Act, hereby represent that the Post-Effective
Amendment does not contain disclosures which would render it ineligible to
become effective pursuant to Rule 485(b).


Very truly yours,

/s/ Thomas S. Harman
