Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Putnam Arizona Tax Exempt Fund:

In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements
of the Putnam Arizona Tax Exempt Fund (the Fund) as of and for
the year ended May 31, 2010, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we
considered the Funds 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 NSAR, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.
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 companys 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
companys 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 the companys 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 a Funds annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Funds 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States).  However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Funds internal control over financial reporting and its
operation, including controls over safeguarding securities that
we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of May
31, 2010.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Arizona Tax
Exempt Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
