Cardini, Swan. Group of Swan Cardini Ephemera. Including two heart-wrenching ALSs from Swan to Dr. John and Mayra Grossman; copies of two obituaries of Cardini with Swan’s holographic notations; a postcard from Swan Cardini to the Grossmans; and a copy of a news story regarding Swan. In the letters, both from 1974, she writes regarding Cardini’s death: “I still cry every time I think of him and how stupid I was not to realize he was not going to get well. I really didn’t think he would die.” And later, “I still feel lost as I have found out my strength was in Dick, without him I just sit around and do nothing.” She provides other personal details regarding their relationship, as well. Both letters date from 1974 and with original mailing covers, signed “Swan”.
