[Retrospective entry:] May 1813
At our next annual Conference May 5th
1813, which sat in Amenia, I was appointed to the Rhinebeck
district. Although this station was not the object of my
choice, I have not met with the many difficulties I had
anticipated, but enjoyed my mind much better than I expected
I should. We have had the happiness to witness several
gracious revivals, particularly the last year [1816]. Both
Preachers and people have treated me with more kindness and
attention than I have reason to look for. In this station I
have continued three years.
