Letter from Edward Smith Lees, General Post Office, Dublin, secretary to Irish Post Masters General, to Charles Grant, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, concerning proposals for a hotel at Dunmore harbour, County Waterford, 29 November 1821 [originally indexed by CSO clerk as 24 November, but this is unlikely, as this would predate the enclosed letter from Grubb dated 26 November]. Encloses letter from Robert Grubb, Clonmel, County Tipperary, superintendent of the works at Dunmore harbour, to Lees, advising on desirability of a hotel at the harbour, 'where respectable people may have accommodation in [sic] their way to and from the Packets'.

Also letter from Grubb, at Dunmore harbour, to Lees, reiterating his belief in the importance of providing a hotel or inn. Also reports that no damage was sustained at the harbour works during the recent gales, and refers to suspicions concerning McGill [probably Alexander McGill, resident manager of the works at Dunmore], 15 December 1821.
