[00:00.97] | Chapter 7 The Last Letter |
[00:07.46] | Six months later, in April 1890, |
[00:12.80] | I found him dead in bed. |
[00:16.61] | He was on his back in bed, |
[00:19.37] | so at first I thought he was asleep. |
[00:22.93] | I talked to him, but he did not move. |
[00:26.89] | Then I saw that the skin on his face was blue, |
[00:32.17] | so I knew he was dead. |
[00:35.57] | He did not usually sleep on his back. |
[00:38.97] | His enormous head was very heavy, |
[00:42.07] | so he usually sat up in bed with his arms round his legs, |
[00:47.14] | and his head on his knees. |
[00:49.90] | He could sleep well like this. |
[00:53.16] | But he wanted to sleep on his back like you and me. |
[00:57.52] | He tried to sleep on his back that night, |
[01:00.97] | but his heavy head came off the bed, |
[01:04.32] | and he broke his neck. He died very quickly. |
[01:09.95] | Next day, the Chairman of the London Hospital, |
[01:13.68] | Mr Carr Gomm, wrote to the editor of The Times again. |
[01:20.23] | The Times, April 16th, 1890 |
[01:26.67] | Dear Sir, |
[01:29.41] | Three and a half years ago |
[01:31.95] | I wrote to you about a man called Joseph Merrick. |
[01:37.18] | This man was called 'The Elephant Man' |
[01:41.65] | because he was born with a very ugly body. |
[01:46.56] | Merrick was not ill, but he could not work, |
[01:51.05] | and he had no money. |
[01:54.08] | The readers of The Times felt sorry for him, |
[01:58.11] | and they gave me a lot of money for Merrick. |
[02:02.55] | Because of this money, |
[02:04.59] | we could give Merrick a home in the London Hospital. |
[02:09.01] | It was his first good home, |
[02:11.79] | and for three and a half years he lived here happily. |
[02:17.22] | The doctors and nurses of the hospital helped him, |
[02:21.23] | and many important people visited him. |
[02:25.60] | He read many books, he went to the theatre, |
[02:30.27] | and in the summer he stayed in the country for six weeks. |
[02:35.92] | Because of your readers' money, |
[02:38.57] | we could give him a happy life. |
[02:43.03] | Last night Joseph Merrick died quietly in his bed. |
[02:49.83] | He was a man with a very ugly body, |
[02:53.17] | but he was a good, kind man, |
[02:56.58] | and he had a lot of friends. |
[02:59.58] | We liked to talk to him, and we are all very sorry because he is dead. |
[03:06.16] | A lot of people are going to remember him for a longtime. |
[03:12.24] | There is some money left, so I am going to give it to the hospital. |
[03:18.02] | Thank you, sir, for your help. |
[03:21.27] | Yours faithfully |
