TALBOT925

Calais

April 17^th 1821

We landed here this afternoon, but had not a good passage: I shall be with you the day after you get this letter, in the course of the afternoon. I bring heaps of letters for everybody. The house was not let when I left London, but seemed in a fair way; so many people came to see it. It is very smart & clean. Have you heard of any German master, I am anxious to begin. I met a German yesterday & was so sorry I could not talk to him – He asked us in broken French & English how he was to pay for his passage from Calais: we told him he had better pay the mate. Ah! says he, that is the femme de chambre, ¹ in English –
