During your stay in this part of the country, we regretted much, that had so little of the pleasure of your society, but situated as you were it became irksometo draw a line of distinction, which I trust will explain in a satisfactory manner toyou, the cause of our denying ourselves that satisfaction which under any other circumstances we should have been most happy to have extended to you, & Mr Phillips.
I hope you and your dear little ones, are in good health, & trust that you will be pleased with your new place of destination & which I trust will turn out well.

Yours truly

I am afraid you were extremely inconvenienced and I fear not sufficiently attended to; in not having a female proper? to take the management of yourself, and the dear babe. But you have so very kind affectionate a partner?, who makes up for many deficiencies in other friends that the want of them is surely perceptible.
Jane is I assure you delighted to have another brother added to the list; I suppose she has only the dear little Isabell to rival her. Jane is much grown, she can scarcely wear any of her clothes that she brought with her. We have been obliged to add a few to her stock which will serve till she reaches the Coal River. She appears happy and is in perfect health. With respect to her studies we think greatly improved in her writing, and speech. She is extremely fond of drawing, and indifferently so of music. We think it a great pity she should leave her studies so soon, but that is for Mr P's consideration and yours; however whether she go or stay, we shall at all times, be most happy to see her, to make one of the family at Smeeton Villa; a new name we have given to our present residence.
I hope you are now comfortable settled at your new abode Patterson's Plains; an you find your stock increase, and you get your comforts around you, that the situation assumes new beauties, that you were not at first aware of. I assure you I find it the case here and I do not now wish to leave our remote retreat for any other tho' we can boast of but one neighbour and they are so distant from us, that our intercourse with each other is not very frequent. But as your family like mine, is so numerous, the want of other society is not very much to be regretted.
I hear Master Henry has paid you a visit, the gratification of seeing him was great and at such a time in the absence of Jane, a source of delight while confined to your room. Pray give my love to him should he still be with you. I hope all your other little ones are quite well, particularly my little Isabella, tho' I fear she is still called Charlotte. If so, it is highly wrong, give the dear babe twenty kisses for me. I hear she is very strong; I am pleased to hear it.
Mary, John & Isabella, beg to be kindly remembered to you, and Mr Phillips. Your servant came here this morning about five o'clock, and it is Sunday evening, and I have all the young folks to attend to, I hope you will excuse me writing a longer letter. Mr Biddall begs to write with me in best regards to yourself, Mr Phillips and family, and in the ... convalescent, and that the babe is also doing well, Believe me, my dear Mrs Phillips, yours affectionately, Isabella Biddall. [Alfred William was born 24 March 1824].

Lydia Ballard in Paterson, NSW, sent a letter dated 7 September 1845. Mrs Frankland, Northallerton, Yorkshire, England.
Bona Vista, 7 Sept 1845, My dear Mrs Frankland, I received your letter about a month since I forget the date and Mrs Parker took it home with her when last here. It gave me much satisfaction to hear of the improved state of your health. I put off answering it sooner as I about the same time received a letter from George informing me of his intention of leaving the Clarence very shortly and I wished to have seen him ere I wrote yours. He said he return overland, and as we have had a great gale of rain, and it still continues, I do not expect him for sometime, the rain is expected to have extended far, and would therefore prevent his starting, or in the event of his having left the Clarence would detain him at some station on the road. I know Frank will keep him as long as he can and will reluctantly part with as delightful companion as our dear George.I could not say how much he is beloved and respected by all our family and friends, wherever he goes he makes friends, he is of so truly amiable and obliging disposition. I look on him as one of my own family, and I think he feels as much at home here as he could anywhere away from his truly beloved parent and brothers, not a day passes when he is here but you are spoken of on some way, and he used to have long and amusing anecdotes to tell us of his visits to his friends in England, his fishing and shooting excursions and so forth after our game at whist last winter evenings and I, having so small a family at home, have been anxiously wishing his return to our fireside. he has been now many months away from us but I know you have been informed of his movements by himself and Jane. I am sorry we have not succeeded in obtaining any appointment as most situations worth having are filled from home. Two of Capt. Allman's sons are at present out of employment, and many others whose parents were supposed to have influence here. Capt. Allman has lost his situation as Police Magistrate and many others who have been government servants all their lives but there are acts of our wise legislators and I suppose for the general poor but I am heartily sorry for some of our other friends Who have grown grey in the public service George was greatly disappointed at finding cottages & buildings in such a dreadfully dilapidated state and the land exhausted from more than twenty years cultivation without manuring and proper management. The present tenants having that basis may not be expected to improve the land but make as much as they can out of it and of course impoverish more. Farm produce is now so low, and servant's wages so high, that even those who have no rent to pay find it difficult to clear their way. Rents are now generally so much lower that it would not pay interest of money expended in new fencing and painting the premises in thorough repair.
I have been passing the last month with Mrs Sloan who has a little son. Lydia is staying with her to improve in her music for she is very backward in her education having been taken from school too early during ... very dark times. I am thankful, and wool are now fetching a ... price in we are looking forward to brighter days.
Mr. Phillips desires me to present his fondest remembrances to you,
Believe me, my dear Mrs. Frankland
Yours affectionately
Lydia Phillips.
George in his last letter to me desired that no more letter or papers might be forwarded to the Clarence to him so that I am sure he will be home as soon as he can, and will write you immediately after his arrival.
Lydia Ballard sent a letter dated 1853. In a letter from his mother she says she seldom hears much of Frank.
Lydia Ballard in Paterson, NSW, sent a letter dated 29 August 1853 to Edward Augustus Phillips. 1853 Aug 29, Bona Vista - My dear Edward, I had the pleasure of receiving yours of the 21st 2 days ago and feel thankful to providence that you are in health and spirits and have our very lively hopes from what you communicate that you will ultimately succeed in your arduous undertaking. William had a letter from Mr Medcalfe last week wishing to try his luck with him again at Dungog should the report of gold being found there prove correct. I hear 20 persons have left this neighbourhood to prospect there. I received a letter from Lydia the day I got yours which I enclose for your perusal. I have written her to return soon, as I expect Hannah will be married when time is up, which will be next week. I fear we shall not get one to suit us so well, I engaged a man and his wife but they quarrelled so dreadfully I was obliged to send her away. She is now with Mrs Stoddart, the man I don't approve and shall discharge at the end of his month. Eliza Parker is with Elizabeth who is without a servant. Alfred will endeavour to procure one while in Sydney. I have just had a letter from him, he names having had a pleasant run of 12 hours from Newcastle, he was surprised on sailing into the harbour to see all the ships dressed out with flags; it appeared the foundation stone of the Sydney Exchange was laid that day. Two ships of emigrants went in with them; both went into quarantine having measles on board. Elizabeth & Eliza dined with me today, they desire their love to you, both of them have very severe coughs again, indeed most people are suffering more or less. Mrs Cory had part of a letter from you to them. The Blacksmiths place and tools were destroyed by the fire at Gostwyck, happening in the night and Mr Cory being from home, the females were as you may imagine, much alarmed. I am and family are well. I seldom hear from Frank. Did he ever get the things you left at the Sonisan? William going on much as usual. Mr C Stoddart is going this week to see if any thing can be done at Dungog. He will stay at Browns. It is gratifying to hear, that horrid vice, drunkeness is being checked. I do hope you take advantage of every opportunity of attending Divine Worship. Let me urge on you my dear Edward to do so. This world, with all these petty and evanescent interests which now so engross and agitate, will soon pass away. Its pleasure wholly engage us, or its crosses and cares make us miserable. It would not be so if we felt that we had a portion above and beyond the world. We would think less of amusements or the inconveniences of the road if we looked more to the end of it. Do write oftener, it is a great source of pleasure to me to get a letter from you. John & Dolly always send their love to you when they see Lydia or I writing to you. They both wrote their Papa last week and got very pretty answers yesterday of which they are not a little proud. I will say no more now or shall tire your patience. Heaven guard you dear boy! and believe me ever, Your affectionate mother, Lydia Phillips..
Maitland Mercury Aug 26 1854: - Preliminary notice of sale of Bona Vista estate (to be held 4 Oct 1854) under instructions from British & Colonial Bank & Loan Co. 2090 acres (some areas to be reserved).
Lydia Ballard received a letter dated 6 September 1854. 1854 Sep 6 - Letter from Alexander Park to Lydia Ballard/Phillips at Bona Vista re Bona Vista leases preventing sale of Bona Vista. My dear Madame, Your favour of the 1st instant only reached me this morning - I have just seen Mr Atkinson and left with him your note with the various leases which I am promised will be taken into consideration on Friday next when the Board will meet. There appears to be some mistake about Capt. Creagh's lease. He holds some document authorising him to keep possession until March next - and informed Mr Bloxsome he would not give up his lease unless he was paid £300 - three hundred pounds. There is another difficulty however of a more formidable character existing - I mean, the Race Course Paddock, the lease of which does not expire till 31st December now - as this is the most saleable part of the property - Mr Atkinson says, & in his opinion I concur, there is no prospect of your proposal being accepted by the Board unless you can induce Keppie to surrender his lease. I really think it would be worth while to give him a hundred pounds or even £150 - rather than have the whole business marred. I feel certain if this cannot be arranged the Board will determine on selling the property in one Lot, in which case, it is probable it would not realize more than the debt - consequently the Company would not have it in their power to deal liberally with you - indeed Bloxsome says all their concerns must be closed without delay. You will perceive therefore how desirable it is to obtain possession of the land alluded to. I was under the impression the Race lease was nearly up - & so informed Messr Bloxsome & Atkinson on the occasion when I last addressed you on this subject. I hope most sincerely you will be able to prevail on Keppie to come to terms. No time must be lost - until I hear from you on this point I shall be very anxious. Believe me, dear Madame, Your sincere friend, Alex Park. .

Lydia Ballard in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia, sent a letter dated 15 August 1822. Lydia Phillips to the Colonial Secretary. Sir, In understanding that a vacancy has lately occurred in your Office, in consequence of the resignation of the Assistant Secretary Mr Atkinson, I have taken the liberty to solicit your kind interference with his Excellency the Governor to have Mr Phillips appointed to the situation. Hoping the strong testimonials he has received from those under whom he has had the honor to serve and his having been so many years accustomed to duty of that nature and likewise the strong recommendations to the protection of his Excellency and yourself may influence you in his behalf - I hope you will pardon the liberty I am taking in addressing you. Mr Phillips being at present at the Coal River consequently can't have the honor of waiting on you himself to ask the favour and the anxiety I feel for the welfare of a young & helpless family has induced me thus to trouble you, which if you will be pleased to take into your favourable consideration will confer a lasting obligation on myself and family ...... Lydia Phillips, Orphan House, Parramatta Aug 15 1822. .
Lydia Ballard received a letter dated 6 September 1823. A letter from Elizabeth Macdougall, Government House dated 6th Sep 1823 addressed to:
My dear Madame, I embrace an early opportunity of answering your kind note, & at the same time to assure you of the sincere regrets we felt, in not seeing you before you left this. During your stay in this part of the country, we regretted much, that had so little of the pleasure of your society, but situated as you were it became irksometo draw a line of distinction, which I trust will explain in a satisfactory manner toyou, the cause of our denying ourselves that satisfaction which under any other circumstances we should have been most happy to have extended to you, & Mr Phillips.
I hope you and your dear little ones, are in good health, & trust that you will be pleased with your new place of destination & which I trust will turn out well.
OUr dear little pets are quite well, & delighted with each other; my sister writes with me, in kind compliments, & best wishes, & I believe me, my dear madame, always
Yours truly
Elizabeth Makdougall.
Lydia Ballard received a letter dated 23 May 1824. 1824 Smeeton Villa, May 23 - My dear Mrs Phillips, We were much pleased to hear of your late confinement being so well over and sincerely congratulate both yourself and Mr Phillips on the increase to your family of a fine boy who we hope will prove a source of happiness to you both. I am afraid you were extremely inconvenienced and I fear not sufficiently attended to; in not having a female proper? to take the management of yourself, and the dear babe. But you have so very kind affectionate a partner?, who makes up for many deficiencies in other friends that the want of them is surely perceptible.
Jane is I assure you delighted to have another brother added to the list; I suppose she has only the dear little Isabell to rival her. Jane is much grown, she can scarcely wear any of her clothes that she brought with her. We have been obliged to add a few to her stock which will serve till she reaches the Coal River. She appears happy and is in perfect health. With respect to her studies we think greatly improved in her writing, and speech. She is extremely fond of drawing, and indifferently so of music. We think it a great pity she should leave her studies so soon, but that is for Mr P's consideration and yours; however whether she go or stay, we shall at all times, be most happy to see her, to make one of the family at Smeeton Villa; a new name we have given to our present residence.
I hope you are now comfortable settled at your new abode Patterson's Plains; an you find your stock increase, and you get your comforts around you, that the situation assumes new beauties, that you were not at first aware of. I assure you I find it the case here and I do not now wish to leave our remote retreat for any other tho' we can boast of but one neighbour and they are so distant from us, that our intercourse with each other is not very frequent. But as your family like mine, is so numerous, the want of other society is not very much to be regretted.
I hear Master Henry has paid you a visit, the gratification of seeing him was great and at such a time in the absence of Jane, a source of delight while confined to your room. Pray give my love to him should he still be with you. I hope all your other little ones are quite well, particularly my little Isabella, tho' I fear she is still called Charlotte. If so, it is highly wrong, give the dear babe twenty kisses for me. I hear she is very strong; I am pleased to hear it.
Mary, John & Isabella, beg to be kindly remembered to you, and Mr Phillips. Your servant came here this morning about five o'clock, and it is Sunday evening, and I have all the young folks to attend to, I hope you will excuse me writing a longer letter.

Lydia Ballard in Paterson, NSW, sent a letter dated 7 September 1845. Mrs Frankland, Northallerton, Yorkshire, England.
Bona Vista, 7 Sept 1845, My dear Mrs Frankland, I received your letter about a month since I forget the date and Mrs Parker took it home with her when last here. It gave me much satisfaction to hear of the improved state of your health. I put off answering it sooner as I about the same time received a letter from George informing me of his intention of leaving the Clarence very shortly and I wished to have seen him ere I wrote yours. He said he return overland, and as we have had a great gale of rain, and it still continues, I do not expect him for sometime, the rain is expected to have extended far, and would therefore prevent his starting, or in the event of his having left the Clarence would detain him at some station on the road. I know Frank will keep him as long as he can and will reluctantly part with as delightful companion as our dear George.I could not say how much he is beloved and respected by all our family and friends, wherever he goes he makes friends, he is of so truly amiable and obliging disposition. I look on him as one of my own family, and I think he feels as much at home here as he could anywhere away from his truly beloved parent and brothers, not a day passes when he is here but you are spoken of on some way, and he used to have long and amusing anecdotes to tell us of his visits to his friends in England, his fishing and shooting excursions and so forth after our game at whist last winter evenings and I, having so small a family at home, have been anxiously wishing his return to our fireside. he has been now many months away from us but I know you have been informed of his movements by himself and Jane. I am sorry we have not succeeded in obtaining any appointment as most situations worth having are filled from home. Two of Capt. Allman's sons are at present out of employment, and many others whose parents were supposed to have influence here. Capt. Allman has lost his situation as Police Magistrate and many others who have been government servants all their lives but there are acts of our wise legislators and I suppose for the general poor but I am heartily sorry for some of our other friends Who have grown grey in the public service George was greatly disappointed at finding cottages & buildings in such a dreadfully dilapidated state and the land exhausted from more than twenty years cultivation without manuring and proper management. The present tenants having that basis may not be expected to improve the land but make as much as they can out of it and of course impoverish more. Farm produce is now so low, and servant's wages so high, that even those who have no rent to pay find it difficult to clear their way. Rents are now generally so much lower that it would not pay interest of money expended in new fencing and painting the premises in thorough repair.
I have been passing the last month with Mrs Sloan who has a little son. Lydia is staying with her to improve in her music for she is very backward in her education having been taken from school too early during ... very dark times. I am thankful, and wool are now fetching a ... price in we are looking forward to brighter days.
Mr. Phillips desires me to present his fondest remembrances to you,
Believe me, my dear Mrs. Frankland
Yours affectionately
Lydia Phillips.
George in his last letter to me desired that no more letter or papers might be forwarded to the Clarence to him so that I am sure he will be home as soon as he can, and will write you immediately after his arrival.
Lydia Ballard sent a letter dated 1853. In a letter from his mother she says she seldom hears much of Frank.
Lydia Ballard in Paterson, NSW, sent a letter dated 29 August 1853 to Edward Augustus Phillips. 1853 Aug 29, Bona Vista - My dear Edward, I had the pleasure of receiving yours of the 21st 2 days ago and feel thankful to providence that you are in health and spirits and have our very lively hopes from what you communicate that you will ultimately succeed in your arduous undertaking. William had a letter from Mr Medcalfe last week wishing to try his luck with him again at Dungog should the report of gold being found there prove correct. I hear 20 persons have left this neighbourhood to prospect there. I received a letter from Lydia the day I got yours which I enclose for your perusal. I have written her to return soon, as I expect Hannah will be married when time is up, which will be next week. I fear we shall not get one to suit us so well, I engaged a man and his wife but they quarrelled so dreadfully I was obliged to send her away. She is now with Mrs Stoddart, the man I don't approve and shall discharge at the end of his month. Eliza Parker is with Elizabeth who is without a servant. Alfred will endeavour to procure one while in Sydney. I have just had a letter from him, he names having had a pleasant run of 12 hours from Newcastle, he was surprised on sailing into the harbour to see all the ships dressed out with flags; it appeared the foundation stone of the Sydney Exchange was laid that day. Two ships of emigrants went in with them; both went into quarantine having measles on board. Elizabeth & Eliza dined with me today, they desire their love to you, both of them have very severe coughs again, indeed most people are suffering more or less. Mrs Cory had part of a letter from you to them. The Blacksmiths place and tools were destroyed by the fire at Gostwyck, happening in the night and Mr Cory being from home, the females were as you may imagine, much alarmed. I am and family are well. I seldom hear from Frank. Did he ever get the things you left at the Sonisan? William going on much as usual. Mr C Stoddart is going this week to see if any thing can be done at Dungog. He will stay at Browns. It is gratifying to hear, that horrid vice, drunkeness is being checked. I do hope you take advantage of every opportunity of attending Divine Worship. Let me urge on you my dear Edward to do so. This world, with all these petty and evanescent interests which now so engross and agitate, will soon pass away. Its pleasure wholly engage us, or its crosses and cares make us miserable. It would not be so if we felt that we had a portion above and beyond the world. We would think less of amusements or the inconveniences of the road if we looked more to the end of it. Do write oftener, it is a great source of pleasure to me to get a letter from you. John & Dolly always send their love to you when they see Lydia or I writing to you. They both wrote their Papa last week and got very pretty answers yesterday of which they are not a little proud. I will say no more now or shall tire your patience. Heaven guard you dear boy! and believe me ever, Your affectionate mother, Lydia Phillips..
Maitland Mercury Aug 26 1854: - Preliminary notice of sale of Bona Vista estate (to be held 4 Oct 1854) under instructions from British & Colonial Bank & Loan Co. 2090 acres (some areas to be reserved).
Lydia Ballard received a letter dated 6 September 1854. 1854 Sep 6 - Letter from Alexander Park to Lydia Ballard/Phillips at Bona Vista re Bona Vista leases preventing sale of Bona Vista. My dear Madame, Your favour of the 1st instant only reached me this morning - I have just seen Mr Atkinson and left with him your note with the various leases which I am promised will be taken into consideration on Friday next when the Board will meet. There appears to be some mistake about Capt. Creagh's lease. He holds some document authorising him to keep possession until March next - and informed Mr Bloxsome he would not give up his lease unless he was paid £300 - three hundred pounds. There is another difficulty however of a more formidable character existing - I mean, the Race Course Paddock, the lease of which does not expire till 31st December now - as this is the most saleable part of the property - Mr Atkinson says, & in his opinion I concur, there is no prospect of your proposal being accepted by the Board unless you can induce Keppie to surrender his lease. I really think it would be worth while to give him a hundred pounds or even £150 - rather than have the whole business marred. I feel certain if this cannot be arranged the Board will determine on selling the property in one Lot, in which case, it is probable it would not realize more than the debt - consequently the Company would not have it in their power to deal liberally with you - indeed Bloxsome says all their concerns must be closed without delay. You will perceive therefore how desirable it is to obtain possession of the land alluded to. I was under the impression the Race lease was nearly up - & so informed Messr Bloxsome & Atkinson on the occasion when I last addressed you on this subject. I hope most sincerely you will be able to prevail on Keppie to come to terms. No time must be lost - until I hear from you on this point I shall be very anxious. Believe me, dear Madame, Your sincere friend, Alex Park. .
