ALS signed “John,” two pages, lightly-lined, 8.5 x 11, no date. Letter to Barbara DeCicco, daughter of George DeCicco, New York mobster and longtime Capo in the Gambino crime family. In part: “I received your wonderful card just this week. I wasn’t allowed to send nor receive any mail for five weeks—and then after the surgery I wasn’t physically able to write—excuse my poor handwriting as I still don’t have full use of my right arm. I will in a week or two, during the surgery the doctor’s couldn’t avoid severing some nerves in my shoulder. In any event, the surgery went well—even though for five weeks I had more tubes in me than an old T.V. I started six weeks of radiation this past Monday, and though it’s no picnic I feel like a lion, and a young lion at that.” After his signature, Gotti adds a brief and hopeful postscript which reads, “Tell Georgie to keep the martinis cold.” In fine condition. In 1998, Gotti was diagnosed with throat cancer and was transferred from the US Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, to the US Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, for surgery. From time to time, without notice, he’d be transferred from Marion to Springfield for tests. While the tumor was removed, the cancer was discovered to have returned two years later and he was transferred back to Springfield, where he died in 2002.
