I added a second gmail address for my wife on this computer. How do I access this address and add it to the menu bar where the Inbox for my address appears?

Chosen solution

You should be able to add it using a similar method to how you added your own.

If you are talking about opening two accounts at the same time. You may have problems if you then try to open both accounts at the same time. It may open a window again for the logged in account. If that is a problem try ripening the second account using Private Browsing (PB).

If you are talking only about the option to use the auto form fill then all you should need to do is enter the relevant text and use it once and it will show up in future. You must save history and not be in PB for this to work. (So you may have the problem because of the workaround above and have only used your wife's account in PB ).
