Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Ohio
Tax-Free Funds and Shareholders of
Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt
Fund

In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of Vanguard Ohio
Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund")
as of and for the year ended November 30,
2022, 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 a material weakness as defined above
as of November 30, 2022.

This report is intended solely for the
information and use of the Board of
Trustees of Vanguard Ohio Tax-Free Funds
and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
