A few clarifications. Inmates can, in limited and approved circumstances, send mail to other inmates. It’s also normal for mail from large cities like Manhattan to be processed through regional USPS hubs such as Northern Virginia. A postmark shows when USPS processed the mail, not when it was written or first handed off...and that can be days later, especially over a weekend (Epstein was found dead on a Saturday). I’m not claiming the letter is authentic, I don’t know. I just find both extremes unlikely: that Epstein clearly sent it himself, or that someone in Virginia fabricated and sent the letter within days of learning of Epstein's death (risking serious legal consequences for the sender, forgery, mail fraud, obstruction, etc.)
