Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Deutsche DWS Municipal Trust
and Shareholders of DWS Short Term Municipal Bond Fund

In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of DWS Short Term Municipal Bond Fund (the
"Fund") as of and for the year ended October 31, 2018, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), we
considered the Fund's 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 N-
CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting.  Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's 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 company'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'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's
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
company's annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund'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 over financial reporting that
might be material weaknesses under standards established
by the PCAOB.  However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Fund's 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 October 31, 2018.





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