The Board of Directors
The Swiss Helvetia Fund, Inc.
875 Third Avenue, 22nd Floor
New York, New York 10022

Attention: Abby L. Ingber, Secretary

Dear Directors:

     Full Value Partners, L.P. beneficially owns 329,301 shares of The Swiss
Helvetia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") including 100 shares in registered name. In
aggregate, Bulldog Investors, LLC, the investment advisor of Full Value
Partners and I beneficially own approximately 2 million shares of the Fund,
almost all are owned on behalf of clients.

     Pursuant to Section 10 of Article I of the bylaws of the Fund, at the
Fund's next annual shareholder meeting, Full Value Partners intends to present
three proposals to makes changes to the Fund's bylaws. Full Value Partners has
not received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from any
person regarding these proposals and has not engaged in any hedging
transactions in connection with its investment in the Fund. Full Value
Partners is part of a Section 13D group which intends to solicit proxies
from all stockholders of the Fund and intends to arrange to have a
representative present at the meeting to present the proposals.

     Proposal 1 is to amend the Fund's bylaws to simplify the advance notice
requirements for stockholders seeking to present a proposal or a nominee for
director at a meeting of stockholders. The text of Proposal 1 is as follows:

       Section 10 of Article I (Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominees for
       Director and Other Stockholder Proposals) is rescinded and replaced
       with the following:

       Section 10. (Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominees for Director and
       Other Stockholder Proposals)

       To be properly brought before the annual meeting, the business
       (including nominations of persons for election to the Board of
       Directors of the Corporation) must be either (i) specified in the
       notice of annual meeting (or any supplement or amendment thereto)
       given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise
       brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board
       of Directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual
       meeting by any stockholder (a) who is a beneficial stockholder of the
       Corporation at the annual meeting, and (b) provides notice containing
       the names and addresses of any nominees for election as directors and
       a brief description of any proposal(s) to be presented for a vote at
       the annual meeting in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation not
       less than the later of (i)sixty (60) days in advance of the anniversary
       of the previous year's annual meeting date (the "Anniversary Date") or
       (ii) ten (10) days following the date of public disclosure of the date
       of such meeting reasonably calculated to inform stockholders.

     The purpose of Proposal 1 is to (1) eliminate unnecessary impediments to
exercise of the stockholder franchise, (2) simplify the requirements for
stockholders that intend to submit nominations or proposals for a stockholder
vote, and (3) deter litigation.

     Proposal 2 is "To rescind Section 2 of Article II of the Fund's bylaws
(Qualifications for Office)." The purpose of Proposal 2 is to (1) eliminate
an unnecessary impediment to exercise of the stockholder franchise, and
(2) deter litigation.

     Proposal 3 is to amend the Fund's bylaws to establish and clarify that a
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present at a meeting of
stockholders at which a quorum exists is sufficient to change the bylaws.
The text of Proposal 3 is as follows:

     The last sentence of Article VII shall be deleted and replaced with the
following sentence:

       However, these By-Laws and any amendment thereof, including the By-Laws
       adopted by the Board of Directors, may be altered, amended or repealed
       and other By-Laws may be adopted by a vote of the holders of a majority
       of the shares present at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum
       exists.

     We believe it is unsettled law as to whether the 75% super-majority vote
set forth in Article VII (but apparently not in the Fund's Article of
Incorporation) is valid. Consequently, the purpose of Proposal 3 is to (1)
clarify the vote sufficient for shareholders to make changes to the bylaws and,
(2) deter litigation.

     Please contact me if you or the directors would like to discuss these
proposals.

					       /S/Phillip Goldstein
