My Dear Aunt
I hope you and Grand Mama and Grand Papa are well. We have put up the Carriage made of paper. You forget the Letter you promised in Mary Anne's Letter you would send me. The Banks as we came were covered with Primroses. I like Brighton very much. We have seen the Little Lambs and their Mothers in a field upon the downs. We send our Love to Mrs Flaxman. By the seaside there is a little man who stands Swinging his arms about and turning round. Mama says there is a v[ery] Pleasant Prospect before the House. I send my Love to Grand Mama and Grand Papa and Betsey. I am Dear Aunt your affectionate nephew William Porden Kay. |
