'Elvis & Gladys' by Elaine Dundy wrote:Christmas 1951 had been a particularly bad one for the Presleys. The income from Vernon's United Paint job, together with Gladys' job at St Joseph's Hospital, showed that they had gone over the stipulated amount per year for the Project. Eviction was threatened. In vain did Vernon try to explain the situation to the authorities in a letter no doubt dictated to Elvis.
Have had illness in family, wife is working to help pay out of debt. Bills pressing - and don't want to be sued.
The invalid was Vernon, the illness was his back which was now bad enough to require medical care and some hospitalisation. But that didn't matter. They were still down on record as being over their earning limit.
Gladys had to quit her job.
