Correspondence in the collection is separated into incoming (1904-1908) and outgoing (1903-1908) sections.

There is also a folder of family correspondence, from 1903 to 1904.

The collection also contains consular letters and reports regarding Port Arthur, Russian influence in the Pacific, and relations between Russia and China.

The collection also contains photographs that were removed from their original placement in the collection and stored separately for preservation reasons, under the call number PH234. Photographs include portraits (possibly of Miller as an older man), pictures from China during the Boxer Rebellion (1898-1901), a performance at a Japanese Odori, and a photograph of "Japanese Frank," the interpreter for the Chicago Daily News; the other name printed on the portrait is: Matsutaro, Todani.

Several of the images are of military men "horsing around," and text written on the back of some of the prints states these men are "survivors of the 25th, Newchwang (China), July 1904."
