EFTA01881710, with copies at EFTA01881953 and EFTA02082027: a list of scientists and laureates prepared for Jeffrey Epstein naming "Oliver Sacks (neuroscience)" beside Harold Varmus, Eric Lander, E. O. Wilson and John Holdren. He is named in the list; the document does not record contact between them.
EFTA01745624 (30 August 2015), a correspondent writing to Jeffrey Epstein after Oliver Sacks died: "I am very sad to lose Oliver Sacks. I can scarcely imagine two people more different in personality than you and him". The one substantial mention of him in Jeffrey Epstein's correspondence is a message drawing a contrast between the two men, which is worth stating plainly on a page that otherwise lists them together.
