As with his first several diaries, Dailey recounts his travels, the people he meets, including separate black classes, and his physical and emotional state throughout. This diary begins with a brief account of the Philadelphia meeting, which Dailey describes as disagreeable, and his assignment to the Cambridge circuit, which he explains is the same as the Dorchester circuit to which he was previously assigned.

Dailey travels through much bad weather on horse and by canoe to preach, visit with the sick, perform baptisms, marriages, and funerals, and attend tent meetings. He also attends the Baltimore conference and records the names of the preachers he met there. Also during this time, Dailey's younger brother dies of typus, and Dailey's wife bears a second son.]]> Manuscripts]]> Diaries]]> ]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Dailey, David]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Camp meetings]]> Methodists]]> Methodist Church]]> Manuscripts]]> Diaries]]> ]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Methodist Episcopal Church.

As with his first few diaries, Dailey recounts his travels, the people he meets, including separate black classes, and his physical and emotional state throughout. He still experiences bouts of sickness and depression, but also finds happiness in preaching, visiting the sick, performing baptisms, and attending camp meetings. During this time, Sally gives birth to a son. Also during this time, Dailey describes several trials, including those involving black members, and is involved in matters of church discipline such as expelling a member for "selling a human being in the Southern States."]]> Manuscripts]]> Diaries]]> ]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Methodist Episcopal Church.

As with his first few diaries, Dailey recounts his travels, the people he met, including separate black classes, and his physical and emotional state throughout. He still experiences bouts of depression, but also describes happiness and contentment in preaching, visiting the sick, and performing baptisms, marriages and funerals. He is particularly pleased by camp meetings that are successful in gaining converts.

Several entries refer to a woman named Sally, who often attends meetings with Dailey and who would eventually become his wife.

As with his first two diaries, Dailey recounts his travels, the people he meets, and his physical and emotional state throughout. During his third year as a traveling preacher, he seemed to find more joy in his preaching, particularly in "meeting with the blacks." He survives a bout of the measles and another unnamed "tedious illness," and is vaccinated for small pox. He also presides over two trials regarding member misconduct.]]> Manuscripts]]> Diaries]]> ]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Methodist Episcopal Church.
