LOCAL OBSERVATIONS. 
Gri/lehamn is the poft-houfe (a brick building) where the pattengers 
that travel this way to go to Finland, either in winter or fummer, 
generally flop: the road lies acrofs the tea. In fummer there are 
always pod-boats ready to convey the travellers; and in winter, when 
the ice is ftrong enough to bear, fledges and horfes are here furnifhed. 
It is to be obferved, that at this place you are obliged to take double 
the number of horfes to what you had before : there is a telegraph 
at Gritlehamn.
