Letter from Mary Anne Kay to her grandmother Mary Porden, possibly relating to her stay in Brighton

She has sent violets for her; glad Aunt is coming down with Papa; she has copied some Greek out and Miss Spears has picked up something on the beach, which Mama thinks is part of a thunderbolt; she has written out an exercise from Murray's English Grammar; they have looked at clouds in the sky.
