Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees and Shareholders of Putnam New York Investment
Grade Municipal Trust:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Putnam New York Investment Grade Municipal Trust
(the Fund) as of and for the year ended April 30, 2006, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Funds
internal control over financial reporting, including control
activities for 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.

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 funds 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.  Such internal control over financial
reporting includes policies and procedures that provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a funds
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 control deficiency 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 significant
deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that adversely affects the funds ability to
initiate, authorize, record, process or report external
financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles such that there is more than a remote
likelihood that a misstatement of the funds annual or interim
financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not
be prevented or detected.  A material weakness is a control
deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected.

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 over financial reporting that might be
significant deficiencies or 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 for safeguarding securities, that
we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
April 30, 2006.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of Putnam New York
Investment Grade Municipal Trust and the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.

  77e. Regulatory matters and litigation

Putnam Management has entered into agreements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Massachusetts
Securities Division settling charges connected with excessive
short term trading by Putnam employees and, in the case of the
charges brought by the Massachusetts Securities Division, by
participants in some Putnam administered 401(k) plans.
Pursuant to these settlement agreements, Putnam Management
will pay a total of $193.5 million in penalties and
restitution, with $153.5 million being paid to certain open
end funds and their shareholders.  The amount will be
allocated to shareholders and funds pursuant to a plan
developed by an independent consultant, and will be paid
following approval of the plan by the SEC and the
Massachusetts Securities Division.

The Securities and Exchange Commission and Massachusetts
Securities Division allegations and related matters also serve
as the general basis for numerous lawsuits, including
purported class action lawsuits filed against Putnam
Management and certain related parties, including certain
Putnam funds. Putnam Management will bear any costs incurred
by Putnam funds in connection with these lawsuits. Putnam
Management believes that the likelihood that the pending
private lawsuits and purported class action lawsuits will have
a material adverse financial impact on the fund is remote, and
the pending actions are not likely to materially affect its
ability to provide investment management services to its
clients, including the Putnam funds.

Putnam Management and Putnam Retail Management are named as
defendants in a civil suit in which the plaintiffs allege that
the management and distribution fees paid by certain Putnam
funds were excessive and seek recovery under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Putnam Management and Putnam Retail
Management have contested the plaintiff claims and the matter
is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Massachusetts. Based on currently available
information, Putnam Management believes that this action is
without merit and that it is unlikely to have a material
effect on Putnam Management and Putnam Retail Management
ability to provide services to their clients, including the
fund.
