Also mentions the conflict in Taranaki between the troops under Colonel Gold and local Maori. Diary makes reference to the names of residents and visitors in Auckland at the time and observations on local shipping movements. The writer then travels from Auckland to Mangawai together with her family and the newly acquired family cow, on the 'Grace Darling', on 2 August 1860. The writer's birthday is on 10 April, and makes frequent reference to "Lizzie", whose birthday is on 9th August, and "Meta" who would appear to be sisters. Closes with a poem and a page of portrait sketches in pencil. From the content of the diary it would appear likely that the writer had recently arrived in Auckland on 16 March 1860 as one of the 229 passengers on board the 'Blue Jacket' under Captain Hugh Clarke - after departing from Liverpool on 26 November 1859. The 'Blue Jacket' departed from Auckland for the onward journey to Wellington on 31 March 1860.
