Let us.

As Endericide says, "let us." In a sentence we use it something like this: Let's get together and talk. Interesting though, it's not really like "allow us" it's more like "Shall we."

"let's" stands for "Let us go to the mall later".

there are no rules for contractions since contractions themselves are against the rules. they are shortcuts to getting your point across without taking the time to speak correctly. we all do it.
for example, i always contract "you would" to "you'ld".
my 3 year old son heard all the contractions being used around him and intelligently decided on the contraction amn't....as in : "Eric go to bed; you're tired". response: " i am'nt"!

You're reading If the abbreviation "it's" stands for "it is", and "don't" stands for "do not", what does "let's" stand for (e.g., "Let's go to the mall later.")?

You are absolutely correct. Points for you. It seems odd, however, that let's is let us. Do we drop the "u" then? Ha.
