"Permit Mrs. Miller & little girl to hold an interview this day with John H. Miller, Prison 1, mess 11, a Prisoner of War." A postscript in the hand of the commandant Colonel C.W.B. Allison reads "Permit this interview in the anteroom. No letters or packages to be delivered until examined." The prisoner was apparently Private John H. Miller of the 26th Mississippi, who had been captured at Fort Donelson, TN on 16 February 1862.
