is he this presley 1/26 childs File January 16,1957 1736 Yolanda Port worth, Texas President disenhower The Inhitchouse Washington D.C. Dear Mr. President, The matter I am writing to you about is Cluis Presley. dnclosed is a clipping that appeared in the Fort Srouth Dress. Please clont let the army cut off his hair which every teen ager in america idolizes. you are the commander in chief of the armed Forces, so surely you can do something about it There is no tunager in america who could hear having his hair cut off. They Love Cluis too much to even let you cut off his hair. If you do cut off his hair it would probably start a nation- ae Trar, and Dam sure, you know it is had enough having over to fight other countries much less having our own in a war with each other. all the boys and even girls would have their hair shawed off in an "Elvis Presby army Cut, and think how terrible that would be. Tohy, Half of the United States would be bald. Please don't let this happen, you know you can prevent it so please try. Elves is not an only exception therease other boys too, Take my uncle for instance he's 23 and hasnt been drafted yet, so why cloes the most popu- lar guy (Eluis of course have to be drafted. Hes just 22. I am sure he can fight but so can some of the others on the opposite side. Please don't let this happen. Inc would he pleased if you will give us a reply. Thank you, Sincerely yours, Susan Mooney Nancy Kelley Sandra Trimble Send awnser to 2 larolyn ann Pucker Susan mooney Jackie Natkins 1736 yolanda Elaime Grimm Fart Worth, Texas Dorathyp arton Deloris Honey Butt anne Sanborn La Donna sue Hill Lanette Hasty Cam Reese Jummy I Ban Carolyn Casbann, Fred nor later Eco Manjohn MashlernLinla Allen Jan Day Patsy Shelton Barbara Holilay law Davis Bobbie Presson Janice Watterns Melance Wilson Katy Savag
