1934 San Antonio Texas Alamo Land Lease Agency 6 paged letter- Great Oil content

Description

Check it out...Here's a unique 8 1/2" wide by 11" tall 6 – page typed letter dated March 17, 1934 on three pieces of paper, one of which has an ornate letterhead image of the famous Alamo in San Antonio Texas. The letterhead reads: "Alamo Land and Lease Agency 344 Moore Building San Antonio Texas. Farm and Ranch Property. Oil Leases and Royalties" with TONS of info about the "Kurten Dome Prospect" land development plan. The content is far too lengthy to put in this description in its entirety, but suffice to say that the letter writer (Hervey T. Crist) is really pushing the sale of this land. Letter is written to a man named Raymond V. Chipman of Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts. Great stuff in here like, "Since my last letter, Tidewater and Texas Seaboard oil companies have brought in a wildcat well in Anderson County, estimated at better than 3000 barrels per day. Anderson County is one County removed from Brazos County and Kurten Dome Prospect to the north and west, therefore the new well will not increase the value of Kurten Dome Prospect acreage directly. The value comes in that it shows that the big development is closing in on Brazos County – – – that Kurten Dome Prospect is in a general area of feverish development, where the big companies are pushing the limit." The letter has been signed in ink by Hervey T Crist himself at the close. Could be a real sleeper item fun to research.-Letter is in lightly used condition with minor wear expected from age and normal use and the envelope shows usual edge wear as expected- Still a very cool one-of-a-kind piece of history here-I only have the one, so... Postage information is listed at the bottom-$ 4.95 postage is required.

Shipping
We will try and combine shipping on multiple purchases wherever possible. Please e-mail us with auction item numbers before sending payment.
However, if the items are heavy or require special packing / tracking, the postal rates might not be significantly reduced. We no longer ship overseas first class mail. We will only ship Internationally by Priority Mail, and that starts at .00. So please be aware that we NO LONGER SHIP FIRST CLASS MAIL INTERNATIONALLY unless seller agrees to ship by USPS Priority mail at an increased rate. Postage rates are non-negotiable and non-refundable. We pack every item professionally using new packing materials and appropriate mailing supplies. We send all items via US Postal Service.The U.S.Postal service rates change fairly regularly every year and we don't make money on postage like some other ebay sellers. I think you'll find that we're quite fair.
Thank-you!
Terms of Sale
I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item. The standard sized Lincoln head penny in the photograph is there for size comparison ONLY and is not included in the package. We're just trying to help you figure out how big the item is. We try and always be as accurate as we can in the item
description and will gladly answer any question about item size & description when needed. Please e-mail us with any questions BEFORE the end of sale and BEFORE placing a bid. Postage is determined by the U.S. Postal service and is never refundable. Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago. So if you intend on using the old item, please be aware that we are selling it for collector value only. In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don't get mad at us. It may be hard to believe, but we have received a couple negatives because people broke vintage items while trying to use them.
