Gentlemen, Her
Royal Highness...
HRH Alexandra,
Princess of Wales :
Good morning, gentlemen.
I hope I am not disturbing you.
Gielgood :
On the contrary, ma'am.
Your presence here is always greatly appreciated.
We were just taking a vote on Mr. Merrick.
Her Royal Highness has shown
the greatest interest in His Fate.
HRH Alexandra,
Princess of Wales :
Indeed I have, sir, as has The Queen.
I have a brief communication from Her Majesty,
which she has requested that I read to you :
"To the Governing Committee,
London Hospital —
I would very much like
to commend you for the
charitable face you have
shown Mr. John Merrick,
The Elephant Man.
It is laudable that you
have provided one of
England's most unfortunate sons
with a safe and tranquil harbor, a home.
For this immeasurable kindness,
as well as the many other acts of mercy
on behalf of The Poor,
of which Mr. Carr Gomm
has kept me informed,
I gratefully
Thank You.
Signed,
Victoria."
I'm sure I can count on
you gentlemen to do
the Christian thing.
