Early NZ electorals don't show females, but I did find one WARE family living in the Canterbury area.

Sarah BAYLISS & George WARE married in NZ in 1865
Had a daughter called
- Pamela Elizabeth WARE, born 1868
Also:
- 1866 William WARE
- 1876 James Bayliss WARE
- 1877 Francis Henry WARE (maybe known as Harry?)
- 1883 John Henry WARE
I assume this is the family you are loong for.

This letter could be to Pamela's uncle who I assume is James, Sarah's madien name was BAYLISS (not Bayly).
There were no Bayly's living in the south Island during this time, I did find a James BAYLISS in Wakauni Road.
