" Early in February (1931), Sport Ward wrote that he had seen him (Joseph Kennedy). Sport had been taking a golfing vacation in Havana and Palm Beach in late January. In Palm Beach, he said, he had met Joe Kennedy and Eddie Moore, in the company of a woman who had been on Sport's boat going down and who people told Sport - to his vast amusement - was Gloria Swanson. At the end of a long letter, with his tongue coming right through his cheek, Sport recounted the situation in Palm Beach, humorously so as not to hurt me, but in enough pointed detail so that I could not mistake that he felt I was well rid of Joe. "
In a letter to Gloria, her friend Sport Ward wrote:
"Finally, however, Joe gave a big house warming in a new apartment he had taken ... I no more than got seated when a stranger came in, and Joe bringing the stanger up, introduced ... as Nancy Carroll... I then realized that there were two people who answered the description which had been given me - you and Nancy Carroll."
