DIAMM Note

According to https://www.iaml.info/sites/default/files/pdf/belgium.pdf in 2015 the Royal Conservatory of Mons acquired the Fernand Leclercq collection (obituaries for a music teacher Fernand Leclercq of Mons appear in September 1992). It is unknown if this fragment was included in the purchase/donation.
