John McMillon Correspondence, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.
Dr. John McMillon was a doctor living in De Leon Springs in the early 1930s. He treated patients from Palm Beach to New York.
The materials are arranged in one series by type of document.
Series I: Correspondence, 1929-1935 mostly consists of letters written to Dr. McMillon by his patients. Generally, they are asking for prescriptions, requesting treatment, and apologizing for not paying his bill. Two letters were written by the J. M. E. M. C. W. Drug Manufacturing Company of De Leon Springs, and a few came from insurance companies. The first subseries holds correspondence arranged chronologically while the second subseries holds correspondence arranged alphabetically. Correspondence from individuals who wrote to the doctor more than once is held in the second subseries. Insurance Forms holds forms from several companies. Some are cards showing payments, others are for the doctor to complete about his patient and the remainder are informational materials. The final folder holds letters that are incomplete.
