Sir, - In November this year the Shelbourne Hotel will be 175 years old. As part of the celebrations we intend to record the history of the hotel from its foundation to the present day in a commemorative, illustrated book.
Any anecdotes, recollections or information relating to this "grand old lady" of St Stephen's Green, which your readers might have, would be of great assistance and will be gratefully received by the undersigned.-Yours, etc.,
Mr Jean Ricoux, General Manager, Shelbourne Meridien Hotel, 27 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2.
