| Title | Letter from Thomas Grubb, Dublin to Edward Sabine |
| Date | 23 November 1865 |
| Description | Grubb notes ‘it is a matter of regret’ that Major [Charles William] Pasley did not directly write to him, and suggests it was ‘his place’ to provide any additional information Pasley required. Discussion regarding Grubb’s ‘rough draft of a contract in the shape of a proposal’ [possible reference to a contract to construct the great Melbourne telescope] sent to Pasley. Discussion regarding the cost and additions to Grubb’s previous estimate of £4000. Grubb hopes to hear from Dr Robinson regarding Mr [Warren] De La Rue’s letter about delays. Refers to communication with Lord [William Parsons] Rosse and Pasley. |
