Love Letters from Elvis is a 1971 studio album from Elvis Presley.

The album was made up mostly of leftovers from Elvis' marathon June 1970 recording sessions in Nashville. Most of the other 35 songs recorded during those sessions had been used in Elvis' 1970 albums "That's the Way It Is" and "Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old)". Wanting to squeeze out a third album from the sessions, RCA records had producer Felton Jarvis mix, overdub and compile the remaining songs. However, few of the songs had the rock, country, or gospel feel that inspired Elvis to his greatest performances. As a result the album was critically panned upon release, and failed to crack the top 20 of the Billboard album charts. Like many Elvis albums, it has since gone gold.
