To cuckold, hanged and happy I would dare a dedication or I said without A. Cuckolded, hanged and happy, it is a title, what a title! and on what grounds shall I glory in it", an autograph letter signed and addressed to Brigitte and Maurice Dalinval "it is with great joy that I hand you these pages of writing, the professor has aged well, but as long as he lives, he will remember Maurice's first visit, who thanked him for having cured him forever of all vulgarity, I am amused to note that this last sentence is not exemplary, I think that both Maurice and I regret that I used the same personal first name twice and so closely, even though it refers to two different people, I embrace you both" dated 13 January 1964, a photo of Marcel Jouhandeau dedicated to Maurice Dalinval.
