In a recent paper, Miller derived a Kummer-type transformation for the generalised hypergeometric function $_{p}{{F}_{p}}(x)$ when pairs of parameters differ by unity, by means of a reduction formula for a certain Kampé de Fériet function. An alternative and simpler derivation of this transformation is obtained here by application of the well-known Kummer transformation for the confluent hypergeometric function corresponding to $p\,=\,1$
