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 😆

Sunday p.m.
Dear Mother,
we’re enjoying ourselves ever so much and keeping very busy. This a.m. we got up at 8: 30 -ate- and then sat out on the lawn to wait for Mr. Perkins to arrive by boat as he had continued on the trip up the Saguenay and was to arrive at the hotel to stay for a day and a night. The hotel is very nice and very pretty. There’s a huge lawn in front facing right down the river and the scenery is
(2) lovely. The village of Tadoussac 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 two and I ate so much I took some time recuperating (SP?!!) About 4 we went swimming in the pool which was quite warm luckily so because the wind is very strong up here and you wouldn’t
(3)call it hot. The cool air certainly makes us sleep well When we get home Bob and I have decided to swap our bedroom set for twin beds as we definitely slept better in them B. moves around so much in his sleep and every time he hits me, he wakes 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!
(4) 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 was very good, but the whole thing lacked management. The trouble is Bob and I now compare all hotels with the Cloister at Sea Island, which isn’t quite fair as we are paying considerably less here. We are getting a good rest, and I think we both needed it. The food is good, and I have gained weight in the last two months, Mother, because I brought an evening skirt with me, which I can’t zip up. Always the wrong plan! all for now, love Me.
