Sarah Ferguson wrote to Epstein that Andrew would help arrange a «good time» for the girl. Epstein replied from prison with thanks.
In February 2010, the prince«s private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, invited Epstein to a celebration of Andrew»s 50th birthday at St James«s Palace. Epstein declined.

Contacts did not cease in autumn and winter 2010. In November, the prince wrote that he was looking forward to meeting to «discuss and plan something interesting.» In December, he sent Epstein a Christmas card with wishes.
