From Mary H. Miller letter to George Miller dated Sept. 11, 1861, from Fort Valley, Georgia:
"Brother is S. Major of the 6th Geo. Regt. & father Wand-Master of the same Regt. They are at Yorktown, Va. We are at home now & I have taken charge of the farm. I go nearly over it every morning by 8 o'clock, Get up by day-light & have every thing attended to in regular farmer's style. Grand father says I will make a fine crop & you can not imagine how proud I am of it."

According to the History of Company C, 6th Georgia Regiment, by Wendell Crooms, p. 10, Robert A. Miller was discharged on account of age and physical infirmities.
