Treves and Merrick built a friendly relationship, although Merrick never completely confided in him.

He told Treves that he was an only child, and Treves had the impression that Merrick's mother, whose picture Merrick always carried with him, had abandoned him as a baby.

Treves observed that Merrick was very sensitive and showed his emotions easily.
