(445) DECEMBER 21 1970 ELVIS LETTER TO PRESIDENT NIXON YEAR

READ THE LETTER! LINK HERE! 

at the NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Christmas meant so much to Elvis.  He loved to go home to the family at Graceland TM and he loved to give presents  and bonuses to those who worked for him, the guys who became known as the Memphis Mafia. (I wasn't a member of that group as I never worked for Elvis.)  

Elvis took time to write the President of the United States just a few days before Christmas in 1970. I imagine that he'd been thinking about doing so for some time and had just found the pause in his schedule to do so. He thought the President would read his letter and he was right.  To me this is evidence of how Elvis thought of street drugs and crime as different than private doctors and prescriptions.  I miss Elvis.  We'll be taking a vacation after Christmas for a couple weeks, and should be back in time to celebrate his Capricorn birthday!
