Each individual letter stands up in its own right as a complete letter. The forty seven letters cover all of Elvis' ten released songs at Sun and start from July 1954 through to December 1955.
Ten songs, making five singles, were originally released on the Sun label. These records (in both 45 RPM and 78 RPM formats)
Sun 209 July 19, 1954: That's All Right / Blue Moon of Kentucky
Sun 210 September 25, 1954: Good Rockin' Tonight / I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine
Sun 215 December 28, 1954: Milkcow Blues Boogie / You're A Heartbreaker
Sun 217 April 10, 1955: Baby Let's Play House / I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone
Sun 223 August 6, 1955: I Forgot To Remember To Forget / Mystery Train
At the time, the entire Sun Record Company operation was run by owner Sam Phillips and office manager Marion Keisker. When Sam wanted to send a letter to a record distributor, disk jockey or retail outlet, he would dictate the contents to Keisker.
Keisker would take a sheet of Sun Record Company stationary, put a piece of carbon paper below it, and put a piece of plain white paper below that (sometimes with the words "Copy" pre-printed on it in red). She would type out the letter, mail the top letter, throw away (or re-use) the carbon paper, and file the bottom sheet in the Sun's files.
Each one is original, unique, and was once an important part of the Sun Record Company operation and Presley's emergence. Each one is unique, one-off part of the original three-layer "sandwich" of this historical correspondence which had Sam Phillips desperately trying to sell his new young phenom to the world. Each one was created by Marion Keisker's fingers striking her typewriter's keys. Every distributor company involved is long long gone so these letters are the only known in existence in this quantity..
