ALS signed “John,” two pages, lightly lined, 8.5 x 11, no date but circa 1998. Letter to Barbara DeCicco, the daughter of Gregory 'Big Georgie' DeCicco, concerning a variety of matters, including a recent operation to treat his throat cancer, in part: "As always I hope this finds you and everyone in good health and with clear mindsets. 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 hand writing as I still don't have full use of my right arm. I will in a week or two. During the surgery the doctors 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 or radiation this past Monday, and though its no picnic I feel like a lion, and a young lion at that. As for my family, other than a scare from my daughter Vicki—she was hospitalized with a clot near her heart, she is doing fine now—they are all fine and strong. I still don't have much communication with home as these beauties have me under twenty four hour lock down and just two calls each month. Getting to you and family, I hope everyone is doing well as you're unique and classy and like family to me." Gotti adds a brief postscript: "Tell Georgie to keep the martinis cold—." In fine condition.
