My name is John Merrick....

     Today my good friend Dr. Frederick Treves and the Mothershead gave me the splendid news that the London is now my permanent home. Isn't this news just wonderful? Dr. Frederick Treves even gave me my very own dressing case! I've never owned anything so beautiful before. It is my favorite possession yet. The London will be a great new home. I have a table and bed of my very own. I finally don't have to sleep on the floor and get pushed around by Mr. Bytes. I even have my very own model church that I'm building right here in my very own room. It looks just like the one outside my window! Just a few more days and it will finally be completed. How wonderful it feels to have finally have found home with such nice people. I never thought that I could actually find friends. With all the kindness that the generous people of this hospital offer me I think that I could just be happy in this place.
