It comes from the website www.link2lead.com. The document you see is a PDF the website produced.
Big prize for any reader who knows Turabian citation well enough to figure out how to cite this report.

Dear Grandson,
I learn so much when I read your blog, because it takes me places I have never been before. I did some research to find out what the Terabian method is. Here is what I found out. Terabian was a dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago in the 1930's, 40's and 50's and died in the 80's at the age of 94. She was much revered and feared. Her 6th manual of reference has just recently been published. I also learned that you have to go to the original accessing of the document in order to decide which way it should be referenced: either as a footnote or bibliography. I would say this one maybe should be a bibliography. Thanks for the education I am receiving. Love you,

Use APA man, much easier-and I have a program to format it!!! :)
OOPS. Spelled her name wrong, didn't I? I knew I was, but didn't want to do the back and forth thingy (just too lazy).

That's the example I found for online documents in Turabian, will that help? Can you just plug in the right information?
I'm with Cheryl- APA is much easier. Is your choice of going out of the mainline for citation along the same lines as choosing a different version/translation of the Holy book? You are so rebellious. Such a pot-stirrer.
Daniel,
Here is the example from my Moody Style sheet that uses Turabian. Don't know if this helps.

Note: When a website or electronic book does not have page numbers, include a short descriptor (3 words or less) in quotes in order to help the reader locate the reference.
Turabian brings back bad, bad memories of seminary! If I was going to get docked points from a paper it would be for formatting. I just gave up figuring it all out!
