[Mrs. Hamilton] was ninety two years of age at this time, and died two years after. She was a tiny little woman, most active and interesting, although she could never have been pretty in her life. She kept me by her side, holding me by the hand, telling me of things most interesting to me. How she knew Washington (with whom she was a great favorite), and Lafayette, who was 'a most interesting young man.' How they were often at the home of her father, Gen. Philip Schuyler. How when she was a child she was free of the Washington residence, and if there was company Mrs. Washington would dress her up in something pretty and make her stay for dinner, even if she came uninvited, so that she was presentable at table. She showed me the Stuart portrait of Washington, painted for her, and for which he sat; the old Schuyler chairs and tiny mirrors; most interesting to me. This tiny dot of a woman, and of such great age, happened to think of something in her room which she wanted to show Abbie [Fillmore]. Her granddaughter, Mrs. Hamilton Holly, offered to get it for her. 'Sit down child, don't you think I can get it myself?' and up she went and got it, whatever it was.

Miller has some of her facts confused here, but I do love the anecdote about Eliza, in her late nineties, still bustling around the house and scolding her daughter for trying to coddle her.
