Sorry I cannot help on that one, but maybe he was not as upset as it sounds.  He had a terrific sense of humor.  When he was the rector of Cunningham Chapel Parish, his 1832 annual report to the diocese contained the wonderful observation.....

"While the Rector of the Parish could wish that its religious state were much better, he is thankful it is not worse."

I thought it so good, that I had coffee mugs made up with that great quote.

Subject: [VA-HIST] Jockey Club Minister Reference

> Could someone help me with a reference?  I seem to recall reading that Bishop Meade was dismayed upon learning that one of the Virginia Anglican ministers was also president of the local Jockey club. But I can't find the reference.  Does this ring a bell with anyone?
