About the author

Known in print as Mrs. D. L. Miller, she is also listed by Project Gutenberg under the name Elizabeth Talley Miller. She is associated with Letters to the Young from the Old World: Notes of Travel, published by the Brethren's Publishing Company in 1894.

That book is written as a series of letters for younger readers, using firsthand travel impressions to introduce places in Europe and the Middle East. The tone is welcoming and instructive, aiming to make distant landscapes, historic sites, and everyday encounters feel immediate and meaningful.

A grave record for Elizabeth Talley Miller gives her lifespan as 1848–1928. Beyond that, easily confirmed biographical details appear to be limited in the sources I found, so this overview stays close to what can be checked reliably.
