NotesIn 1888, Richard Wright, 17, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of 205 Barnardo boys.

Richard is mentioned in the August 1895 edition of the Barnardo's magazine Ups and Downs. Photo is also there.

"From Richard N. Wright comes a letter, the reading of which is full of pleasure. Here it is: --

'Your letter of the 6th inst. to hand and contents noted. I am greatly in favor of your idea of getting a monthly paper, for I think it will be a good idea to keep the boys together. I would like ot see it flourishing myself, and if there is anything that I can do towards pushing the paper I would only be too glad, for I have great faith in the people of the Homes and their workings, for I know it has made a man of me. I have been in my place now going on eight yers, and that speaks well for a boy, and I am doing first rate, my bank account is splendid.'

We have the greatest respect for Richard, who has done all he says and more too, having, during these eight years, raised himself to a position of trust and responsibility. We are proud of Richard's record and expect to be still more so in the future, as we regard him as one of those who aer sure to rise in the world."


Ups and Downs, October 1, 1899, No. 1, reported that:

Richard Wright was with Mr. McKinnion of Parkhill. He had been in Canada 11 years. He had brought his 3 sisters out, all were doing well.
