Gulf Service Station At 6511 South Main St.

[Highrise Tower]

Gentlemen, another puzzle.

I see a service station at the corner of Main and University with an address of 6511 South Main Street. I'll assume this was across the street, because, as Ross figured out, the address is 6500 SMT.

Houston, Texas
October 21, 1939

William M. Rice Institute,

Gentlemen:

As soon as weather will permit, I will do the following items on the station at Main & University.

1- Plant hedges.
2- Pant one coat of medusa on front and end wall.
3- Wash & clean all windows.
4- Put toilet seat & tank lid.
5- Paint tire racks.
6- Remove all rubbish.
7- An another incidental items to put station in serviceable condition.

Yours very truly,
?
