Good Morning,
Kevin, I suspect you are thinking of the letter described below (as listed in our Library catalog). As Jon pointed out, the version of the letter edited by Thomas E. Buckley appeared in the VMHB in 1983 (Vol. 91, No. 1, pp. 98-104). If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the manuscript, just drop me a line directly.
Best,
John

Subject: [VA-HIST] Help with Cite
I am looking for a citation to a document that I read quite some time ago and am now having difficulty tracking down: an early 19th century letter of advice, if my memory serves from Bishop James Madison to his daughter, written shortly after her marriage, in which he advises her how to be a good wife. I first encountered it in WW Henry's three volume life and letters of Patrick Henry, erroneously attributed there to Patrick Henry and mis-dated to the 1780s. But the original is in Madison's hand, at the Virginia Historical Society. It was transcribed and annotated by Tom Buckley, and published in the VMHB.
That's how I remember it, anyway. Except obviously my memory is faulty, because it does not show up via a JSTOR search.
Can anyone point me to the published and annotated version of the document?
Many thanks, in advance!
Best wishes,
Kevin
