I understand your frustration but that letter of rec has already been written and I’m sure your assistant is close to sending it in with her apps. Not sure what withdrawing it would do considering she’s leaving in a few months. If you still feel this way in about 2 weeks, then fee free to do what’s best.
Another thing I want to mention, do you think she could be slacking off due to the pressures of lockdown and maybe she struggles with the uncertainties around covid? This is not an easy time for a lot of us, so maybe her mental space is thrown off a little.
I’d be really up-front with her about how you feel and mention what you’re considering. She may be slacking and not understand how much this is impacting others’ opinion of her or she may have a real issue impacting her work that she is hesitating to communicate. Either way she should hear from you directly if you are considering withdrawing your letter.
A recommendation is a reflection of your character and reputation as well. If you feel your assistant no longer is a model of who you would hire, I would retract the letter.

You could simply tone down the letter. Make it more generic. People usually understand that generic letter = ok performance.
But first, try to think of times when she was 100% into the job. Were you satisfied at that point? I wouldn't change the letter if she changes a few weeks before departure...that is "normal" I've been told... So I just try to live with it.

Hey OP did u end-up withdrawing? What did you decide? And how did it go? I hope you're confortable in the decision you took... It's a tough position...
So this person isn’t business as usual during a global pandemic and worldwide civil unrest over the centuries long mistreatment of Black people in America??? I’d maybe let it go.
