DescriptionThis is one of our better pieces of Elvis memorabilia. In 1959, the King was in the army and serving in Germany. He was receiving hundreds of pieces of mail from his fans back home. Since it would have been impossible for Elvis to pen a personal response to each fan, he wrote a form letter that would be sent to those who wrote. This is the original hand written draft of that letter. It must have been difficult for Elvis to craft a letter that would seem personal, yet be generic enough to cover most fan questions. Check out where Elvis writes about the marriage rumors that were surrounding him at the time. He denies them outright, but it was while serving in Germany that he began seeing Priscilla Beaulieu. They wed in 1967.
