[quoted in entirety] "The bearer Col. Wright-I learned today is about to be sent to Johnson's Island as prisoner of war-from what I learn of officers here, he is entitled to more consideration than most confederate officers. Any kindnesses bestowed will not be misapplied or abused." It seems that a friend of Miller's knew some one who might have had some control over his fate.
