| [00:01.41] | Chapter 3 A Letter to'The Times' |
| [00:08.08] | I did not see Merrick again for two years. |
| [00:12.54] | Then, one day, the police found him. |
| [00:17.21] | He had my card in his hand, |
| [00:20.09] | so they brought him to the London Hospital. |
| [00:23.43] | He was very tired, hungry, and dirty, |
| [00:28.45] | so I put him to bed in a quiet little room. |
| [00:33.17] | But he could not stay at the hospital. |
| [00:36.06] | He was not ill, |
| [00:37.80] | and of course the beds in the hospital are for ill people. |
| [00:42.17] | We have no beds for hungry people, or ugly people. |
| [00:48.00] | I told the Hospital Chairman, Mr Cars Gomm, about Merrick. |
| [00:54.88] | He listened carefully, |
| [00:57.39] | and then he wrote a letter to the editor of The Times newspaper. |
| [01:03.58] | From The Times, December 4th, 1886 |
| [01:10.01] | A Letter to the Editor. |
| [01:13.92] | Dear Sir, |
| [01:16.75] | I am writing to you about a man in our hospital. |
| [01:21.17] | He needs your help. |
| [01:23.90] | His name is Joseph Merrick, and he is 27 years old. |
| [01:31.14] | He is not ill, |
| [01:33.58] | but he cannot go out of the hospital because he is very, very ugly. |
| [01:40.67] | Nobody likes to look at him, |
| [01:43.51] | and some people are afraid him. |
| [01:47.41] | We call him 'The Elephant Man'. |
| [01:52.53] | Two years ago, Merrick lived in a shop near the London Hospital. |
| [01:59.88] | For two pence, people could see him and laugh at him. |
| [02:06.15] | One day Dr Frederick Treves-a hospital doctor--saw Merrick, |
| [02:13.22] | brought him to this hospital, and looked at him carefully. |
| [02:18.53] | Dr Treves could not help Merrick, |
| [02:22.30] | but he gave him his card. |
| [02:25.74] | Then the shopkeeper, Silcock, took merrick to Belgium. |
| [02:32.58] | A lot of people in Belgium wanted to see him, |
| [02:36.39] | and so after a year Merrick had ￡50. |
| [02:41.85] | But then Silcock took Merrick's ￡50, |
| [02:45.52] | left Merrick in Belgium, and went back to London. |
| [02:51.91] | Merrick came back to London by himself. |
| [02:56.26] | Everyone on the train and the ship looked at him, |
| [02:59.97] | and laughed at him. In London, the police put him in prison. |
| [03:06.00] | But then they saw DrTreves's card, |
| [03:10.05] | and brought Merrick to the London Hospital. |
| [03:14.01] | This man has no money, and he cannot work. |
| [03:19.20] | His face and body are very, very ugly, |
| [03:23.40] | so of course many people are afraid of him. |
| [03:28.11] | But he is a very interesting man. |
| [03:31.25] | He can read and write, and he thinks a lot. |
| [03:35.72] | He is a good, quiet man. |
| [03:39.61] | Sometimes he makes things with his hands and gives them to the nurses, |
| [03:44.41] | because they are kind to him. |
| [03:48.00] | He remembers his mother, |
| [03:50.38] | and he has a picture of her. |
| [03:52.93] | She was beautiful and kind, he says. |
| [03:56.98] | But he never sees her now. |
| [04:00.06] | She gave him to Silcock a long time ago. |
| [04:05.44] | Can the readers of The Times help us? |
| [04:08.94] | This man is not ill, but he needs a home. |
| [04:14.19] | We can give him a room at the hospital, |
| [04:17.07] | but we need some money. |
| [04:19.55] | Please write to me at the London Hospital. |
| [04:23.96] | Yours faithfully, |
| [04:25.88] | F. C. Carr Gomm. |
| [04:28.64] | Chairman of the London Hospital |
| [04:33.87] | The readers of The Times are very kind people. |
| [04:38.73] | They gave us a lot of money. After one week, |
| [04:43.27] | we had ￡50, 000, so Merrick could live in the Hospital for all his life. |
| [04:50.77] | We could give him a home. |
