RE:  Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust (1933 Act No. 2-87634) 

 

Dear Ladies and Gentleman:

Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust (the “Registrant”) filed a post-effective amendment to its registration statement on February 16, 2018 (Accession Number 0000928816-18-000321) that included an XBRL interactive data exhibit. The information in the filing is correct but included the following incorrect post-effective amendment numbers: 1933 Act Post-Effective Amendment No. 48 and 1940 Act Post-Effective Amendment No. 49. The numbers that should have been used are 1933 Act Post-Effective Amendment No. 47 and 1940 Act Post-Effective Amendment No. 48. The Registrant made a subsequent post-effective amendment filing on February 16, 2018 (Accession Number 0000928816-18-000325) that included the correct post-effective amendment numbers.

Very truly yours, 
 
/s/ Peter Fariel 
 
Peter Fariel 
Associate General Counsel
