legs; and his head on his knees。 He could sleep well like this。
But he wanted to sleep on his back like you and me。 Hetried to sleep on his back that night; but his heavy head came off the bed; and he broke his neck。 He died very quickly。
Next day; the Chairman of the London Hospital; Mr Carr Gomm; wrote to the editor of The Times again。
The Times; April 16th; 1890
Dear Sir;
Three and a half years ago I wrote to you about a man called Joseph Merrick。 This man was called‘The Elephant Man' because he aws born with a very ugly body。 Merrick was not ill; but he could not work; and he had no money。
The readers of The Times felt sorry for him; and they gave me a lot of money for Merrick。 Because of this money; we could giveMerrick a home in the Lon…don Hospital。 It was his first good home; and for three and a half years he lived here happily。 The doctors and nurses of the hospital helped him; and many important people visited him。 He read many books; he went to the the atre; and in the summer he stayed in the country for six weeks。 Because of your readers’ money; we couldgive him a happy life。
Last night Joseph Merrick died quietly in his bed。 He was a man with a very ugly body; but he was a good; kind man; and he had a lot of friends。 We liked to talk to him; and we are all very sorry because he is dead。 A lot of people are going to remember him for a longtime。
There is some money left; so I am going to give it to the hospital。 Thank you; sir; for your help。
Yours faithfully
F。 C。 Carr Gomm
Chairman of The London
Hospital
