Fellow Proustians, I have a favor to ask:

I've seen cited in many places a letter from Proust to Jacques Riviere from February 7, 1914. It contains this quote: "Enfin je trouve un lecteur qui devine que mon livre est un ouvrage dogmatique et une construction!" Google translates: "Finally, I've found a reader who understands that my book is a dogmatic work and a construction!"

If anyone has a copy of the correspondence (in either French or English) which includes this letter, I would be very grateful if you could take a photo of the pages containing the letter and post it here. Thank you kindly.
