Dutch girls and religious life in America described
The writer contrasts Dutch girls of good families in America as home oriented with little interest in church attendance yet curious about religious topics. They value few close friendships, meet mainly at tennis clubs, and would be shocked by American social freedoms. The letter also notes holy relics and gifts in Aix la Chapelle, then mentions plans to discuss Cologne and the Rhine in the next letter.
