Matt Berry Reads a letter from Elvis Presley to US President Richard Nixon

Elvis Presley was an avid collector of police badges, but there was one badge in particular he was desperate to get his hands on: a badge from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. In fact, the King of Rock ’n’ Roll was so keen to obtain one that in December 1970, he took a flight to the White House in order to hand-deliver this letter, written mid-flight, in which he cunningly offered his services in the war on drugs – as a “Federal Agent at Large”. His arrival at the White House gates proved effective. A few hours later he had a meeting with President Nixon, gifted him with a Colt .45 pistol after a quick photocall, and asked for the badge he so wanted to own. Nixon obliged, they had their photograph taken, and the next day Elvis returned to Graceland. That mid-flight letter was read by Matt Berry at one of the very first Letters Live events. Enjoy.
