October 31, 2017, 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-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's
internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
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 fund'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 fund'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 fund; (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 fund are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the fund; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of a fund'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 fund'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 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 for safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be a material weakness, as defined
above, as of October 31, 2017.

and use of management and the Board of Directors
of Lord Abbett Affiliated Fund, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
