In homes all over the world letters from Dr. Miller are cherished possessions. A visitor in a New Jersey home was shown a series of seven letters received from him on seven successive wedding anniversaries. Most people would have thought the recipients had no claim on him, but he thought differently; everyone had a claim to which he might be of use.
“I can’t understand how he could keep in touch with folks as he did,” a business man said a few days after the death of the letter writer. “I have carefully laid away a package of messages from the time I took my first position. Every time my salary was increased he wrote to me. There was a letter when I was married, and more letters on wedding anniversaries. When a child was born, when there was sickness in the home, when there were financial reverses, when we were rejoicing or sorrowing for almost any special reason, he wrote to us. And to think that he did no more for us than for thousands of others, some of whom he had never seen.”
