A typewritten speech including humourous anecdotes regarding the life of Eric Lafferty Harvie. The speech was likely intended as an introduction to an event hosted by Harvie and his wife, Dorothy Jean Southam, as the final line reads "I give you our gracious host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Eric Harvie".
Topics covered include Harvie's family; childhood in Orillia (Ontario); legal education in Calgary (Alberta); military service in WWI and WWII; Harvie's marriage to Dorothy Southam; and the author's relationship with Harvie's uncle, Dr. J. D. Lafferty, who was the author's personal physician at Gleichen (Alberta).
