FW: Confidential

Paul

I have heard back from relevant advisers who like the Duchess are happy to confirm that the Duchess at no time referred to Jeffrey Epstein as a paedophile and to support your proceedings in this regards — however they are uncomfortable that any letter will be used by the media in a very high profile way.

James,

If we could have the comfort of the letter, we are happy to provide the Duchess with an undertaking that it will not be released without her express authority.

We do understand your client's concerns. We had only intended to use the letter, if necessary, in support of our correspondence with the Daily Telegraph's legal advisors.

I look forward to hearing from you as a matter of some urgency.

Kind regards,

Paul

Jeffrey,

Please find attached my proposed response to the most recent email from James Henderson. As you say, we want to get the letter and then we can negotiate the terms of its release.

Let me know what you think.

Kind regards,

Paul
