Dear Doris
This is a sunny but with a cold NE. wind which goes right throu [[through]] you if you stay out long. I have just hung out Pa's washing for the wind to blow throu it. Well I have been sewing all this week, after I finished my dress, I tackled your chemiys [[chemise]] they are done all but trimming. Yesterday the yarn came so after that I am going to do more sewing, the new tunic I will fix so I can wear it. 
We were called over across the road to Lovings, it seems that they have hired a cottage down to Nantasket for the summer, and will let rooms there and let their house here, to help them pay their way she embroiders and tries every way to get along isn't it hard he has been sick now most a year now her folks are out with them her father never comes near them now, but she keeps bravely on she is fixing her rooms to let, whitening the ceilings, she can do everything, well and strong, and is growing fat all the whole time. That reminds me it seems the house where Horaces folk live is going to be sold and is now in the agents hands, so they have got to get out of there soon, wonder where they will go now.

Transcription Notes:
“To let” something means to lease or rent it, usually speaking of rooms or office space
