RE: THE HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.                                             
POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NUMBER 61                                      
FILE NO. 333-02381/811-07589                                            

Dear Members of the Board of Directors:                                         

     I have examined the Articles of Incorporation of The Hartford Mutual Funds,
Inc. (hereafter referred to as "Company"), the By-Laws of the Company, documents
evidencing various pertinent corporate proceedings, and such other things       
considered to be material to determine the legality of the sale of the          
authorized but unissued shares of the Company's stock. Based upon my            
examination, it is my opinion that the Company is a validly organized and       
existing corporation of the State of Maryland and it is legally authorized to   
issue its shares of common stock, at prices determined as described in the      
Company's currently effective Prospectus, when such shares are properly         
registered under all applicable federal and state securities laws.              

    Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Company's shares, when
issued and sold for cash consideration in the manner described in the Company's 
currently effective Prospectus, will have been legally issued, fully paid and   
nonassessable stock of the Company.                                             

I am an attorney licensed to practice only in Pennsylvania. For the   
purposes hereof, I assume that corporate laws of Maryland are identical to those
of Pennsylvania.                                                                

I hereby consent to the inclusion of this Opinion as an exhibit to the
Company's Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement. In giving this
consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is   
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933.                         

Sincerely,                                                                      

/s/ Edward P. Macdonald
