Miller, and misc. reasearch about the life of George T. Miller, and a book written by George T. Miller, "Story Telling to Live Wire Boys".

There may be some overlap of information between materials found within this collection and that of the George T. Miller collection donated to the archives.
The research gathered by Jack Day that he then organized is done so in the order of which the chapters of the book would've been laid out. The information gathered by Jack Day personally can be denoted with an HF, indicating that the information was pulled from the hanging folders donated from Jack Day's widow.
