ALS signed “Johnny,” two pages, lightly-lined, 8.5 x 11, no date, but postmarked March 5, 1998. Letter to Barbara DeCicco, daughter of George DeCicco, New York mobster and longtime Capo in the Gambino crime family. In part: “There’s no shortage of aggravation, but it seems the aggravation reacts like a tonic on me as I feel like a youngster. I’m sure you’re aware of the phoney situation with my son John. I won’t go into it in this letter, other than to say he’ll win and be fine…I’m glad that your holidays went well. I’m also sure it was very hard with you and family missing your Mother and Sister so. As for my Son Frank, it is by far my biggest heartache–and, no, I don’t mind that you mention it, and I thank you for the wonderful thoughts about him, as he’s in my thoughts daily. And I find your letter anything but morbid…As for Reynold [Barbara’s son] being lazy in high school, sounds like most teenage boys these days–But I can see that he too has you very proud, and if we can judge by his grandfather he’ll be more than great.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Gotti’s hand and signed “Gotti #18261-053” in the return address area. On March 18, 1980, Gotti's 12-year-old son, Frank, was run over and killed by John Favara, a neighbor. In July of that year, Favara was abducted and disappeared, presumed murdered.
