Description

Gotti lashes out from prison: “You see I don’t use the word utterly impossible lightly...It appears that you really don’t know anything”

ALS, two pages, lightly-lined, 8.5 x 11, March 7, 2000. Response to a frequent letter-writer. In part: “I get between 250 and 300 letters each week—add my large family to it and I would have to write 50 or more letters each day—that would be 5 letters an hour every single hour of every day as I would have to take time out to sleep, eat, etc. also I don’t have any furniture in my cell—desk, table bench, only a concrete bed. So you see I don’t use the word utterly impossible lightly. As for the movie that you mention, no, I haven’t seen it, as for you sending it—this is Marion, not a County Jail. You keep writing in your letters that ‘you know I get time to write’ ‘you know I get phone calls.’ It appears that you really don’t know anything—I am only allowed to call my wife and children, and only a few 15 minute calls each month!…Thank you for your letters and support‚ it’s a shame that it requires my undivided attention—or at least it appears that way.” Intersecting folds and creases, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Gotti’s hand, including his name and prisoner number in the return address area, “Gotti 18261-053.” Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
