Many, many thanks to everyone. Archivists, reference librarians, and erudite colleagues are magical and affirming, and I am much grateful to you for doing the work that you do. (I am also gratified that, in my advancing dotage, I nonetheless managed correctly to remember the bibliographic details. Small victories!)
It turns out that the essay and document was published in a “Notes and Documents” section of the VMHB, and apparently was not indexed by the good folk at JSTOR. Given the integrity of Buckley’s work, and the value of the document, I wonder if there is some way to fix this with the JSTOR people? It’s just a super document, and right now the search engine at JSTOR does not make it easy to locate.
It is a terrific document. It teaches really well, because Madison’s love for his daughter is evident, and because his advice—patriarchal subordination of a gentleman’s wife, and the importance of her contribution to her husband’s public career—so profoundly violates contemporary sensibilities. It deserves to be more widely known.
Many thanks again,
Well wishes,
Kevin

BTW : I remember not being able to find this in JSTOR, too. There was
something quirky in its bibliographic details that threw off the JSTOR
search engine. or Tom's name didn't show in the JSTOR metadata or something
like that.....

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
