From: Gerald Barton Sent: Monday, January 15, 2018 1:30 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein "The only way to hav= a friend is to be one." Jeffrey, <=iv>The above quote was repeated to me by you one early morning when you ca=e to my office in Ohio to ask if you could do anything to help me after an=unfortunate loss in Federal court. This act of kindness is my greate=t insight into your true character, which as a defense, you hide so well.<=div> Over the years, I have had some special relationsh=ps of friendship. Oscar Wilde said "Friendship is love without =ings." In each of these relationships, whether they be a bubbe =r a mensch, they, like you, wanted their goodness to be private. Ant=cipating your anniversary of today, I have thought a lot about the magnifi=ent, unique person you are and I have concluded that of all my friends, yo= are the only one that will, in my mind, be forever young - happy birthday= Jeffrey, my birthday wish to you is that you con=inue to do sufficient, outrageous things to satisfy that need inside, but =ot so many as to diminish the good work you are doing in your foundation.=C2. If that balance can be kept, I believe you will have a long and happ= life. Your friend, Jerry <https://docs.google.com/uc=id=0B4nXWc5q3rWbM2J6eGdNWXhhVU0&export=download> Gerald =.
