                      Re:    Western Asset Municipal High Income Fund Inc. (the
   Fund   )
                             File Nos. 811-05497; 333-287133

Dear Ms. Trust:

        We have reviewed the registration statement on Form N-2 filed May 9,
2025, with the
Commission on behalf of the Fund (the    Registration Statement   ). Our
comments are set forth
below. Please consider a comment made with respect to one section applicable to
similar
disclosure elsewhere in the Registration Statement. All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined
herein have the meaning given to them in the Registration Statement.

General

   1. Please either confirm that any rights offering will not involve
arrangements among the
      Fund, any underwriters, and/or any broker dealers or that FINRA will
review any
      proposed underwriting terms and other arrangements for a transaction
described in the
      Registration Statement and will issue a    no objections    letter in
advance of your offering.

                                          Prospectus

Cover

   2. In Investment Strategies, the disclosure states    The Fund may hold
securities or use
      investment techniques that provide for payments based or    derived
from the performance
      of an underlying asset, index or other economic benchmark.    Please
disclose the
      securities and/or investment techniques referenced in this disclosure
that are principal
      strategies of the Fund. Regarding these strategies, please provide a
cross-reference in
      accordance with Item 1.1.j. of Form N-2, as appropriate. Please also
consider if the use
      of inverse floating rate securities and tender option bonds should be
disclosed in
      accordance with Item 1.1.j.
 Ms. Jane Trust
Page 2

   3. In Offering, the disclosure in the first line of the second paragraph
indicates the Fund may
      sell its securities through    agents    that the Fund may    designate
from time to time   .
      Please explain to us who the    agents    referred to in the disclosure
are, what they do and
      how they are compensated. Please also explain to us the distinction
between agents and
      underwriters/dealers and if the Fund would monitor the activities of the
agents.

Prospectus Summary

       Investment Objectives and Strategies (page 1)

   4. The Fund   s most recent Form N-CSR states    Exposure to higher risk
(beta) revenue-
      backed municipal securities contributed to performance.    If these
securities are principal
      investments of the Fund, disclose so in this section and consider
disclosing the types of
      projects and their revenue streams. Please also include any additional
risk disclosure
      needed to address the risks unique to these securities.

   5. In the next paragraph on page 2, the disclosure states    The Fund may
enter into tender
      option bond (   TOB   ) transactions and may invest in inverse floating
rate instruments
      issued in TOB transactions.    Please explain in the disclosure what
tender option bonds
      and inverse floating rate instruments are.

   6. The disclosure in the penultimate paragraph on page 2 refers to
when-issued municipal
      obligations.    The following paragraph refers to    stand-by
commitments.    Please explain
      in the disclosure what each of these terms mean.

       Special Principal Risk Considerations (page 6)

   7. In Interest Rate Risk, please clarify that interest rate risk differs for
fixed, floating and
      variable rate instruments (e.g., the risk of increased defaults for
variable/adjustable
      obligations if interest rates rise).

   8. On page 11, the disclosure includes    short sales risk   . Please
disclose the use of short
      sales in Investment Objectives and Strategies and explain how the Fund
may use short
      sales towards meeting its objective. If accurate, disclose here that to
the extent that the
      Fund utilizes these strategies the Fund could generate taxable income and
gains. See also
      comment 14.

   9. In this section, consider disclosure of any risks related to financial
pressures on state and
      local governments and those associated with the jurisdictions or sectors
in which the
      Fund focuses its investments (e.g., Illinois, New York, transportation,
health care).

   10. Consider disclosing risks associated with zero coupon instruments and
municipal lease
       obligations.

Risks

   11. In Inverse Floating Rate Securities and TOBs Risk, the disclosure states
   Typically,
       inverse floating rate securities represent beneficial interests in a
special purpose trust
          formed   for the purpose of holding municipal bonds purchased from
the Fund or from
       another third party.    Please explain to us what the phrase    another
third party    refers to
       who they are and what is the nature of these parties?

Summary of Fund Expenses

   12. Disclosure on the Cover and throughout the Registration Statement states
   The Fund may
       not borrow money, except for temporary or emergency purposes, and then
not in amounts
       that are greater than 15% of total assets (including the amount
borrowed).    The Annual
       Expenses Table includes a line item for Borrowed Funds in the Fee Table.
Additionally,
       disclosure in footnote 7 states    The Fund may enter into tender option
       bond   transactions and may invest in inverse floating rate instruments
 ,    and that the
       costs associated with these transactions are    recognized as an
interest expense of the
       Fund   s.    Please reconcile the apparent inconsistencies and in
correspondence explain
       what is and is not included under Interest Payment on Borrowed Funds in
the Fee Table.

Preliminary Prospectus Supplement

   13. On page S-21, Table of Fees and Expenses, please conform this table to
the one in
       Summary of Fund Expenses on page 17 of the prospectus.

                               Statement of Additional Information

   14. In Investment Restrictions, on page 1, #5 states the Fund may not
Sell securities
       short   .    On page 11, in Sort Sales Risk, the disclosure states    To
the extent the Fund
       makes use of short sales for investment and/or risk management purposes
 .    Similarly,
       on page 23 of the SAI, the disclosure states    The Fund may seek to
hedge investments or
       realize additional gains through short sales.    Please reconcile these
inconsistencies.

                                    Part C: Other Information

   15. It appears that the Fund   s Articles of Incorporation were filed prior
to EGDAR becoming
       operational. Please update the filing of the full Articles of
Incorporation so they may be
       accessible on the system.

   16. In the Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws, please revise Article VIII,
Exclusive
       Forum for Certain Litigation, to state that this provision does not
apply to claims arising
       under the federal securities laws. Please also disclose in an
appropriate location in the
       prospectus the provision and corresponding risks of such a provision
even as to non-
       federal securities law claims (e.g., that shareholders may have to bring
suit in an
 Ms. Jane Trust

       inconvenient and less favorable forum) and that the provision does not
apply to claims
       arising under the federal securities laws.
