Pentonville Prison Caledonian Road London N7 8TT Dear Mr. Koupparis, With reference to your letter which I copied to Pannone Napier, I received a telephone call from them in reply. I am afraid they had no further suggestions. They said that they know your present solicitor and had every confidence in her. I also spoke to a psychiatrist who knew the psychiatrist who had seen you and felt that his opinion would be sound. Thus both Pannone Napier and the psychiatrist I consulted felt you were in good hands. I am sorry not to have been more helpful. If either your solicitor or psychiatrist wants a medical opinion on your drug treatment and its possible consequences - and if the medical records are available - I would still be willing to write a report. Yours sincerely, C H Ashton C.H.Ashton DM.FRCP.
