period through June30, 2017, (i) the Partnership had no
disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to Deloittes satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make
reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its
reports on the financial statements of the Partnership for such
years and (ii)there were no reportable events of the type
described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the

foregoing disclosure and requested that Deloitte furnish the
Partnership with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with
the statements above concerning Deloitte. A copy of Deloittes
letter, dated June29, 2017, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

consult EY with respect to either (i)the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Partnerships financial statements, and no written
report or oral advice was provided to the Partnership by EY that
EY concluded was an important factor considered by the
Partnership in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing
or financial reporting issue; or (ii)any matter that was either
