The Epstein Birthday Book (Transcribed) - Part 5
Trigger Warning: lewd sexual descriptions
I transcribed the entire 238-page Epstein birthday book “The First 50 years” so that all the letters and handwriting is legible and easy to read, and also so that it can remain a record if the DOJ decides to pull it off the internet.
The Birthday Book contains photos, personal letters from family, friends, and colleagues, poems, drawings, a fake newspaper filled with articles, food, and personal ads, and some pretty damning evidence…
Feel free to share with family and friends, there is no paywall and this article can be accessed by anyone, on Substack or not.

Jeffrey
Look at this drawing. Picture the scene without the audience, the girl sleeping on the floor. I believe I had shorter hair then...
Does it bring you back memories??
I'm thinking of all the great times we had together! You know you will always be my very close friend even though we don't see each other so much anymore.
Have a happy 50. (I can't believe it!) But the good news is: you look better than you did years ago when we first met.
Love always, [REDACTED]

I received a call from Ghislaine, who I had worked on (massaged) twice in the last few months, to work on her employer: "He is a business man and wants you to work on his feet at his desk." She said, my first thought was, "corns and bunions and a curmudgeon of a man."
When I first set eyes on you, on March 22, 1993, you were sitting behind an enormous desk in your office at home on 69th Street, in a jean shirt and sweatpants and your feet were possibly the most beautiful that I had ever seen belonging to a man. I remember thinking that you looked like a more handsome Ralph Lauren. We moved over to a sitting area and I sat on a footstool and worked on your feet, while you in an armchair watched me and Ghislaine worked on your shoulders. After a few minutes you gave me that squinched-eye look (a mix of calculation and enjoyment, both devouring and submissive) that is so you, and moaned a bit and I thought...ok, this is going well. Within 10 minutes of my being there, you asked me to leave with you guys that night to go to Florida. I had never heard of anything so spontaneous and far fetched and yet I knew that you were serious. I had a previous engagement (I was throwing a dinner party)and so you said you would see me when you got back and have your secretary call and schedule. You did...and my life was forever changed.
Page 200
I am grateful, really beyond any words that I can put here, for your friendship, your belief in me, for all that you have taught me, all the opportunities that you have given me, and all the facinating [sic] people you have introduced me to. When I met you, I was so tightly wound and you were so crazy and you gave me a happy medium. You showed me how much more I am than I ever thought I was. Your guidance has kept me on track and encouraged me to grow and think bigger. You built my business and my confidence; have sent me on travels that changed my life; given, given, given to me; taken care of my friends and family members. You have taught me how to laugh and think in new ways; protected me and made me feel safe. You have been infinitely patient with me and I am so blessed.
With you, dear Jeffrey, I laugh like a little girl and feel like a woman. I love you.

Tizzies... A highly excited and distracted state of mind.
To a collector of more than "beautiful minds" whom appreciates architecture; undulating landscapes, "beauty marks" and....
I understood years ago after Ghislaine came to the Palm Beach Horse Show looking for what I thought was a horse that she was on a mission.
For a collection of breast photos. A compilation, of course, for you.
I came to see you some months later you told me to take off my top. With the usual Epstein smile you looked at my breasts and said "yeah, I was right." Memory served you correctly. The beauty mark was on the right breast. One quotable memory. To a true friend with whom I have shared many complicities....
I love you and wish you the best next 50 years.
P.S. I know from the phone exchange some years back...you like my bra-r!
So Jeffrey, which word out of this text do you not understand?
Just a beauty mark.............

Happy Birthday to "My Favorite"!
Jeffrey, we met in the summer of 1985 at "Indochine" which makes us friends for 17 yrs... Can you believe it!! During these years we have had a lot of fun watching each other grow up. But there are a few memories that particularly stand out which should make you chuckle! First, the day Clark Schubach brought me over to your apt. and then left! After chatting for a bit you blurted out "you are a virgin right"...after recovering from embarrassment I answered yes, how did you know and you said "because you talk so fast" Ha! Ha! Then there was the day we went shopping together at Bloomingdales and you proceeded to throw me down on the floor...right smack in the middle of the shoe dept. and started tickling and kissing me all over!! Next, there was the time I stayed at your house because my apt. was not yet ready to move into and one morning I woke up and there were white
Page 205
roses all over the room so I asked who they were for (thinking you had a girlfriend coming over etc.) and you replied "For You"...that was one of the most sweetest/special moments I've had with you. Then there was [REDACTED] black tie birthday party. I was so excited that you invited me... Ace Greenberg was there so I looked really cool as I just started working at Bear Stearns and there was one waiter for each couple... now that was "chic". I still smile each morning at the picture from that party which you sent me this past July for my birthday... Jeffrey what I love about you is that sometimes you can be just so sweet and sentimental... thank you for sharing that part of yourself with me! Next was a time you were driving around from Jo Jo and had a craving for frozen yogurt so stopped by for an impromptu visit cause you know I always have a treat in the frozen....you were so cute
Page 206
as you entered my apartment with that big grin on your face!! Then remember the time I was living in California and you invited me to Palm Beach for a visit. Well you had a guest, and I hadn't seen you in a while and wanted to spend some private time with you so we went out to the movies alone. Gosh I could go on and on but suffice it to say I have loved most every minute I've had knowing you over these past years. All the chats we've had, life lessons, boy strategy, tears to laughter and on and on. I hope I've made you proud and look forward to more adventures/exciting times with you in the years to come!
I [heart] U!
XOXO [REDACTED]

My dear Jeffrey,
I can write about how I want to cut you into bird-head pieces and chew them between my molars until I suck all the blood and juice out of you. (no stew, just raw)
Or, I can write about how you never cease to amaze me with your kindness and generosity to so many, whose lives you touch in several ways. (Thanks for taking me to Gospel.)
Most importantly, I can tell you how happy you make me by simply being "you".
Yet, no words would suffice to capture what you really mean to me. I am very lucky to have you in my life and hope that you know I will be there for you, if you ever need me.
Happy Birthday!

P.S. I do NOT share.

Jeffrey, there are no words to describe how much I appreciate and admire you. I believe you are the most extraordinary person I've ever met and can't believe how lucky I am to have become a part of your life. What you have shown and taught me in one year is more than most people experience in a lifetime.

When Jeffrey joined Bear, Stearns twenty-four years ago, it was our plan to put him on the American Stock Exchange floor to trade options on common stocks.
Up until then, options had been traded Over the Counter. Jeff said no, and that was the last difference we ever had.
Working with Jeffrey has been a pleasure and watching his meteoric success has given me many vicarious thrills.
I am sure that we will see Jeffrey's star glow even brighter.
Good luck Jeffrey -- Ace Greenberg

Dear Jeffrey,
We started out behind the desk some 25 years ago. Somehow I'm still behind the desk--you're not... I'm asking myself now what I'm still doing there, but it certainly helps define why you're my hero.
All the best, happy birthday.
I wish you love and laughter always,
Ted Serure

Jeffrey I remember in the mid 1970s you being a star salesman for our tax advantaged strategies and hedged option program. I was running an account for Bob Maxwell. You always had the ability to know everyone and be charming. Was that when you first discovered the Maxwell teen-age daughter...
Happy Birthday,
Elliot Wolk

Dear Jeffrey
Welcome to the Club. From the first time that we traveled to Columbus and you had Ghislaine carry your bags at the airport, I knew I would learn a lot from you.
My best wishes for a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Thank you for taking the time to read the entire Epstein Birthday Book “The First Fifty Years.” You’re doing your part to educate yourself and put pressure on Congress and the Trump Administration to release the full FBI files in order to bring criminals to justice.
Please continue to share this with family, friends, and coworkers so we can get the word out!

Ellie is an author, editor, and owner of Red Pencil Transcripts, and works with filmmakers, podcasts, and journalists all over the world. She lives with her family just outside of New York City.
Redacting isn’t truth. Thanks for the work you did on this. I’d like to share this here. I hope you’ll take the time to read and watch.
trump is without question a pedophile. It’s not Hyperbole, It’s not politics, It’s not conspiracy theory. It is a Fact. Read the post then watch the Full video testimony/interview by Katie Johnson who was raped by both trump and epstein. Video 2016 She was 13yo. Now there is the love letter between the pervs. Hmm. She was the first to share that fact and was ignored

Ellie, I have read all of it and my brain is broken. There are, as I see it, multiple stories here. Girls that had a shit life and that was the way out. They got to travel, shop and associate with the rich and famous. Then the sick chauvinist men like Ira Zicherman that envied Epstein for making Ghislaine carry his luggage on a trip to Columbus, demeaning women.(seriously, men on a trip, making the women carry their luggage.)Then there are the scared little teen girls that thought they were being given a chance but had no idea of what that entailed. This went on so long, allowed by whispers and winks by smart, sophisticated people that had the connections to end this immediately. Truly sickening. I hope these women can get the hearing and justice they deserve.
