Jeffrey Epstein 457 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10022 Vicky Ward Vanity Fair 4 Times Square New York, NY 10036 Dear Ms. Ward, Thank you for your letter of December 19th further documenting your reporting style. First with respect to my house. If you recall you asked me on numerous occasions, whether sH i purchased #9 outright. You followed up with a similar question to Mr. on at least 2 occasions, I have told you repeatedly that, yes, in fact I did purchase it outright and you tirelessly repeated "then why were there no transfer taxes paid?" I explained in writing that transfer taxes are in most instances not made public. After sending you documentation on #9's transfer taxes, you then continued on #11. Also in writing, I told Graydon that I never owned #11. Add that to the fact that Graydon has told me that #11 is not part of the story and once again, like a Gospel choir, you chant: "but what about the transfer taxes?" Enclosed please find a copy of the transfer taxes paid, given to you off the record, confirming that I was only a trustee and once again requiring me to spend more time on questions whose relevance you have yet to describe. In regard your question in your latest letter regarding refuting the claims of . Why don't you detail those claims to me so that I and the State Trooper can respond to any factual claims? I hope the copy of this letter, also given to you off the record, will be given to Vanity Fair's lawyers, who should at last understand there is cause for concern. I think you will agree that the only quote "claim" that you describe to me was that had felt "uncomfortable" and asked her father to immediately come and get her. Are you now asking me to refute how "a felt"? A typical tabloid-like question. Or are you asking me whether she left? You certainly did not ask me who paid for her move or when or how EFTA00026788
