[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.
