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. Copies of several letters between the two are included at the end of the volume. English Diary of preacher David Dailey, 1816-1817 St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.) Dailey, David
