John Smith was a fairly dour Scot who took to keeping a diary in the last eight years of his life. Life was difficult for him in these years — there was a bad drought, money was tight, there was a depression and the banks were foreclosing. John had gone guarantor for his brother-in-law, Andrew Lewis MacDougall, using his Bundarra property Torryburn as collateral. Andrew didn’t keep up the interest payments John tried unsuccessfully to persuade the Bank of New South Wales to compel Andrew to pay his debts. John found the only course left to him was to sell the Bundarra property in New England.
