NotesIn 1887, Charles Warren, 13, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 157 Barnardo boys en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Charles is mentioned in the 1895 Ups and Downs, the article is attached to his photo

"CHAS. WARREN.

Charles Warren, writing from Thornhill, Manitoba, adds his tribute to the many which have been estowed upon the crops and prospects of that province. He says:--

'I write you a letter hoping it will find you enjoying good health as I am myself. I think a lot more of Manitoba now than I did at first. I mean to say that it is a nicer country than Ontario, and abetter money making country as well. I like Manitoba anyway, and I am going to try and stop here and make a home here, which I think I can make as well as the next one. I like the looks of the country well and I like the way the crops are doing; the crops I must say are doing splendidly. We had about eight or nine nights of frost in the middle of seeding which cut the crops down very bad, and those that had flax in at the time of the frost have lost it; we had not ours in, and it is doing well now, and so are all the crops around here. This spring was the biggest crop ever I put in Ontario. . . . There is a quarter section for sale here, the man that owns it is gone to Ontario and has left it to Mr. Warren to sell or rent; he wants $800. It is rented now for two years and will be for sale in a year from fall. I don't know whether I would be doing a good thing or not for I was thinking of buying it. I don't think it is too dear, there are 160 acroes in it and forty-five acres broken, and there is a good house and stabling on it too. Well, if I bought it I will tell you how I was going to pay for it. Next fall I was going to pay $200 down, and I think I may be able to pay $300 down on it, and hire out and pay $100 a year on it as well, and rent the place for about $60 a year, and the rent would cover the interest of the money every year, and it would be getting smaller all the time. I would not be one bit afraid that I could not pay for it; there is eight per cent on the money. It may be as cheap a place as I'll get.'

Whatever decision Charles may eventually come to in regard to the proposed purchase we most heartily wish him every success in the new land to which he had gone. He at least does not intend to be deterred by difficulties of anything but a slight character. The matter of fact manner in which he disposes of those which surround the the raising of the sum required to pay for the 160 acres is proof positive that, if not this particular farm, then some other will before very long be the unencumbered property of Charles."
