Two items: a TLS signed “Colonel,” one page, 8.25 x 11, illustrated All Star Shows letterhead, no date, sent to Richard Duncan of Northside Junior-High School, in part: “It has always been my belief that a person should sign only that which he has authored. The items which you sent to me are already signed by their authors. The worth of each of these items is contained in the idea expressed, and my signature would not add one bit to the value of these ideas. However I am enclosing a poem which I wrote, and which I have signed. Elvis contributed much to the field of music and in that field changed history. Only by understanding their heritage and the sacrifices of their forerunners, can your students appreciate the freedoms they enjoy today and make intelligent contributions in the future days to come”; and a souvenir print of “A Poem By The Colonel,” one page, 8 x 11, signed and inscribed at the bottom in black felt tip, “To – Students, Northside Jr. High School and Mr. Duncan, My best, The Colonel.” The poem, in part: “The songs he sang at home each day, / Pleased his Parents in every way. / This humble home, with love to spare, / The three together went everywhere. / Then came this man, his name was Sam, / He recorded a song for Elvis' Mom. / That's when everything began. / It was blue suede shoes and blue moon too, / Along with midnight and moody blue. / It was Elvis here and Elvis there, / And teddy bears were everywhere.” In overall fine condition.
