This is a 3" x 5" card file to correspondence received by the first two directors, although it appears to be a more comprehensive index for Milliken's administrative correspondence. The cards are arranged alphabetically by correspondents' names, under which are noted the dates and contents of the letter(s) received and an abbreviation for the director to whom the correspondence was addressed (i.e., M or W).

This is not an effective tool for locating specific letters, however, since it does not identify the numbers or names of folders in which incoming correspondence was filed. Researchers interested in Whiting's correspondence should use the card file described in this finding aid under the records of Frederic Allen Whiting, series IV. Those searching through Milliken's correspondence can use this index only to verify that Milliken did receive correspondence from a specific person or institution.
