INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'REPORT


To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of Federated Limited Duration
Government Fund, Inc.:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
Federated Limited Duration Government Fund, Inc. (the "Fund")
for the year ended February 29, 2004 (on which we have issued
 our report dated April 8, 2004), we considered its internal control,
including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order
to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
 requirements of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance
on the Fund's internal control.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control.  In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess
 the expected benefits and related costs of controls.  Generally,
 controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's
objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes
that are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those
controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control,
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also,
projections of any evaluation of internal control to
future periods are subject to the risk that the internal control
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control would not
necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might
be material weaknesses under standards established by the
 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A material
 weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one
or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a
 relatively low level the risk that misstatements due to error or
 fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the
financial statements being audited may occur and not be
detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions.  However,
we noted no matters involving the Fund's internal control and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that
 we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as
of February 29, 2004.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders
of Federated Limited Duration Government Fund, Inc.
 and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
