Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Putnam Convertible
Securities Fund

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Putnam Convertible Securities Fund (the "Fund") as of and for
the year ended October 31, 2025, in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), we considered the Fund's 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 N-CEN, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control
over financial reporting.

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 company's 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
company's 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 a company's 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 the company's annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's 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 material weaknesses under standards
established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's
internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including
controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2025.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board
of Trustees of Putnam Convertible Securities 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.
