RE:
  
BlackRock Limited Duration Income Trust
     
(File Nos. 333-194575 & 811-21349)

Dear Mr. Ganley:

Pursuant to Rule 461 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, BlackRock Investments, LLC (the "Distributor") hereby requests that the effec­tiveness of the above-referenced Registra­tion Statement on Form N-2 be accelerated so that it may become effective by 4:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on Friday, May 2, 2014, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

In connection with this request, the Distributor acknowledges that:

 
(a)
should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the above-referenced Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to such Registration Statement;

 
(b)
the action of the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority in declaring the above-referenced Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Distributor from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure contained in such Registration Statement; and

 
(c)
the Distributor may not assert this action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
 
 
 
 

 
Very truly yours,
   
 
BLACKROCK INVESTMENTS, LLC
