(Transcript of the letter)
"Ile d'Orléans 27 fév 19(77)
Mon cher Ferdinand,
Le 4 mars je serai en tournée et le 14 avril en France-
D'ailleurs je n'aime pas le maire Drapeau depuis le gaspillage des jeux-
Aime-moi dans ma place qui est au large loin des prix, que ce soit pour les donner ou pour les recevoir.
Merci d'être venu à Lachine.
Bonjour à ta femme et à ta fille-
Félix Leclerc"
