There is no reason to believe that it wasn't.
As Wikileaks states:
The emails were made available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the US State Department as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request.
You can see the original PDFs at Wikileaks as well.
The Freedom of Information Act request was made by Jason Leopold.
If you want a different source than Wikileaks as confirmation, the Wall Street Journal also has a database of the released emails, which does contain the same sentence you quote.
Of course it is possible that the Email wasn't actually written by Clinton herself, but just by someone with access to her Email account. But as Clinton hasn't denied writing any of the released Emails, it's unlikely.
What does Clinton mean
Whenever any Rothschild is mentioned in a context such as this, the implication is often that something nefarious is going on, for example that the Rothschilds - often a stand-in for Jews in general - are the truly powerful behind the scenes who use politicians like puppets.
To see that this quote is not a sign of a conspiracy - where Clinton owes the Rothschilds for some supposed misstep -, it's important to look at the whole context of the quote:
I was trying to reach you to tell you and Teddy that I asked Tony Blair to go to Israel as part of our full court press on keeping the Middle East negotiations going. He told me that he had a commitment in Aspen w you two and the conference, but after we talked, he decided to go and asked me to tell you. He is very sorry, obviously, but I'm grateful that he accepted my request. I hope you all understand and give him a raincheck.
[...]
He should land around Sam Aspen time. Let me know what penance I owe you. And pls explain to Teddy. As ever, H
What Clinton is saying here is that she scheduled a meeting with Blair at the same time as a meeting Blair had with Rothschild, and she wants to apologize for that - because that is the polite thing to do, not because Rothschild is secretly controlling her.
Conclusion
Yes, Clinton did write this to Rothschild, to apologize for a scheduling conflict.
