Amsterdam March 8th 1864
Dear Rachel,
I was very glad to have you answer
my letter so soon & should have done the same by
you, but this is the first good chance I have had.
You were mistaken in thinking that I would miss
all the rides this Winter. I got well by New Years
and the gay times had just commenced then.
Amsterdam has always been called a lively place
but it has gone beyond itself this Winter. There is
something going every night. We have had a great
many parties, festivals, concerts, donations, rides,
lectures & c. We have Singing school and dancing
school, each twice a week, so as my dearly beloved

| Creator | Haywood, Hattie F. |
| Contributors | Haviland Heidgerd Historical Collection, Elting Memorial Library (Transcriber) |
| Description | Hattie Haywood (a friend) writes to Rachel asking for and replaying much news. Rachel had previously expressed worry about Hattie's health and here Hattie explains that she was well enough by New Years to enjoy the festivals, concerts and parties of the winter. The rest of the letter includes questions about local events and friends. She ends the letter with hope for a response from Rachel. |
| Notes | Rachel Eltinge, born April 8, 1847, was one of the six children of Roelif Eltinge (1809-1884) and Blandina LeFevre (1812-1875). Rachel attended the Poughkeepsie Female Academy and went on to marry Solomon DuBois (1839-1924) on November 11, 1875. The couple had four children. Solomon DuBois was known for his fruit farms in Modena and New Paltz, and for raising Holstein-Fresian cattle that he acquired from Holland. These letters are part of the Solomon DuBois and Rachel Eltinge Family Papers (1812-1944). |
