'''Claude Falls Wright''' was a Canadian Theosophist who became a member of [[H. P. Blavatsky|H. P. Blavatsky's]] [[Inner Group]] in London, in August 1890.

[[Boris de Zirkoff]] wrote of him:
<blockquote>
He and his wife, Leoline Leonard Wright, accompanied [[Katherine Tingley]] on her first tour around the world, leaving New York [[June 13]], 1896. Claude was at the time member of the Executive Commmittee of the [[Theosophical Society in America (Hargrove)|Theos. Soc. in America]], of which [[Ernest Temple Hargrove|Mr. E. T. Hargrove]] was President then. Claude was in [[Point Loma]] and participated in the Ceremonies of the laying of the Corner Stone of the [[School for the Revival of the Lost Mysteries of Antiquity]], [[February 23|Feb. 23]], 1897. He spoke, taking his title "H. P. Blavatsky." I know his widow very well; she is very old now; lives in San Diego with her married daughter and family; address is 3667 Jackdaw, San Diego 3, Calif. Claude drowned somewhere in Central America or Mexico. They had a son, but he lost his mind and has been in an Institution for years and years. Mrs. Wright might be as much as 87 now.<ref>Boris de Zirkoff letter to Alan Denson. November 26, 1957. Boris de Zirkoff Papers. Records Series 22. Theosophical Society in America Archives.</ref>
