Historical context & sources
An address in Dublin's literary topography
No. 9 Upper Ormond Quay was later incorporated into the Ormond Hotel. The hotel subsequently became associated with the Sirens episode of James Joyce's Ulysses. The connection is strictly to the later history of the location: the letter was written decades earlier and has no documented personal association with Joyce.
