Dear Elvis,

You're far too kind. I believe I just might take you up in that offer. I do need an escape right now and definitely need a place to be inspired. I'll be sure to credit you in my next writing passage for your help! Now I just have to get something off my chest....if it isn't too forward of me to say....I had a dream about you last night. I keep that picture with me and it was like the man from the image was right in front of me. I wonder if that's ever happened to you. And it doesn't even have to be about me. I'd just like to know. Anyways...not only that but I just seem to be thinking of you more and more. Maybe it's these letters or maybe it's these darn arguments I want to escape from with my fiance. I feel like we'd get along swell. How do you think you'd be as a husband? I feel like I'm being to risqué with these questions. My apologies. I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours,

Ellie

Dearest Ellie,

Do tell my mama and daddy I say hello if you go and I'd be honored to have helped you with your writing! Ha, Ellie darlin, you're not being forward at all. Matter of fact I had one about you as well. Although you'd slap me silly if I told you the details, but to put it nicely you were or seem like a very respectable woman. So no worries, it's happened to me to I suppose now. But as far as being a husband...I dunno I never gave it much thought considering my music career and plus my manager, Colonel Tom Parker wants me to do more films when I get back stateside. So not sure if that's in my future at least anytime soon. Although I'd picture you as being a wonderful wife to any lucky fella out there. Write back soon!

Love,

E.P
