Thank you for the updates and images. After looking through the additional images you sent, comparability in style and wording are still major limitations, as well as verification of the submitted known writing. As previously discussed, I will need verified known writing from Epstein or any other logical writers which is comparable in style (handwriting, hand printing mix) and wording for meaningful comparisons to be conducted. At this point, I will record pertinent information for future exams if suitable known writing is obtained, and ship back the evidence. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

So, I talked to the case agent who had the original investigation. She has forwarded me a few things that may have been written by Epstein (attached). The problem is, with all of the things found in that investigation, many things were written by his assistants and such. So, nothing can really be confirmed as his writing. I looked at what she sent me and it doesn’t look like anything is in cursive like the letter I sent you (which was the problem with the writing from we have from his cell). Let me know what you think – I totally understand that you may not be able to do anything with these…

Thanks!
