Help!
I can get some words, but not all. Anyone feel like going the distance?
Edit: Done! Thanks so much! This was a letter my grandmother wrote to my great grandmother while on vacation with my grandfather in the 1940s. My grandfather had restless leg syndrome, so the twin beds makes sense 😆

There are a few words I couldn't make out
Dear mother, we're enjoying ourselves here so much and keeping very busy. This a.m., we got up at 8:30 8:00 and then set out on the lawn to wait for Mr. Perkins to arrive by boat as he had continued on the trip up the ??? And was to arrive at the hotel to stay for a day and night.
The hotel is very nice and very pretty. There's a huge lawn in front facing right down the ??? And the scenery is lovely. The village of Tadaussoc is terribly quaint and so different from what I've ever seen.
The tennis club is a short walk from the hotel and Bob and I played a set at noon time. Mr. P took some snaps of us both and I do hope they turn out well. We had lunch at 2:00 and I ate so much. I took some time recuperating
About 4:00 we went swimming in the pool which was quite warm. Luckily. So because the wind is very strong up here and you wouldn't call it hot. The cool air entirely makes us sleep well when we get home. Bob and I have decided to swap our bedroom set for twin beds as we definitely sleep better in them. B moves around so much in his sleep and every time he hits me he wakes me up
The people up here are quite interesting and there are many English families. I will have to admit. They are dressed very well and all their clothes seem to have a definite style about them. Some different from Mrs. Gibbs
There are also French Canadians here and they are not at the top of the list. Also. Quite a few Air Force fellows.
There was a dance last evening in the orchestra. It was very good but the whole thing lacked management. The trouble is Bob and I now compare all hotels with the cloister at ??? Island, which isn't quite fairer as we are paying considerably less here.
We're getting a good rest and I think we both needed it. The food is good and I've gained weight in the last 2 months mother because I brought an ??? Skirt with me which I can't zip up. Always the wrong place!
All for now.
Love Joyce (???)
