Crossword Genius

A letter for the publican? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landlord

I believe this is a double definition.

'a letter' is the first definition.
(I know that landlord is a type of letter)

'the publican?' is the second definition.
(as in a pub landlord)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for landlord that I've seen before include "One renting out property" , "Property letter" , "One leasing property" , "Pub proprietor" , "Mein host" .)
