doorbell wiring with two chimes

I'm attempting to add a second chime to an existing front door button and chime, but there are only two wires from the button to the existing chime -- one red & one white. The red one attachs to the terminal marked "F" on the chime while the white does not connect to the chime but is connected by a wire nut to another white wire running to the transformer. The "T" terminal on the existing chime runs another red wire to the transformer. To what do I connect the "F" and "T" terminals on the second chime to to make this work? It seems to me I should run a wire from "F" terminal to "F" terminal and another wire from the "T" terminal on the second chime to the white wire running from the door button at the wire nut -- bypassing the transformer entirely. Is this correct?
