Chapter 3 A Letter to'The Times'
I did not see Merrick again for two years.
Then, one day, the police found him.
He had my card in his hand,
He was very tired, hungry, and dirty,
so I put him to bed in a quiet little room.
He was not ill,
He listened carefully,
From The Times, December 4th, 1886
A Letter to the Editor.
Dear Sir,
He needs your help.
His name is Joseph Merrick, and he is 27 years old.
He is not ill,
Nobody likes to look at him,
We call him 'The Elephant Man'.
Dr Treves could not help Merrick,
but he gave him his card.
and so after a year Merrick had ￡50.
But then Silcock took Merrick's ￡50,
left Merrick in Belgium, and went back to London.
Merrick came back to London by himself.
Everyone on the train and the ship looked at him,
and laughed at him. In London, the police put him in prison.
But then they saw DrTreves's card,
This man has no money, and he cannot work.
His face and body are very, very ugly,
But he is a very interesting man.
He can read and write, and he thinks a lot.
He is a good, quiet man.
Sometimes he makes things with his hands and gives them to the nurses,
because they are kind to him.
He remembers his mother,
and he has a picture of her.
She was beautiful and kind, he says.
But he never sees her now.
She gave him to Silcock a long time ago.
Can the readers of The Times help us?
This man is not ill, but he needs a home.
but we need some money.
Yours faithfully,
F. C. Carr Gomm.
They gave us a lot of money. After one week,
We could give him a home.
