Envoi autographe signé de l’auteur [à sa fille ?] :

"Pour Michelle

Qui n’est ni patapouf, ni filifer mais simplement belle – affectueusement

André Maurois".

André Maurois eut trois enfants d’un premier mariage dont Michelle, née en 1914, à laquelle cet envoi est probablement destiné. Devenu veuf, il épousa Simone de Caillavet, petite-fille de l’égérie et maîtresse d'Anatole France.
