Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer
In a letter from Peter to Johnson he explains that he wrote 'The Woman In the Wardrobe' under a pseudonym because he and Anthony [Shaffer] wanted to write two more together under that name; provides a riddle to guess the pseudonym they used. This is accompanied by fax transmission sheet. The reply from Johnson apologises for misattributing 'The Woman in the Wardrobe' to Anthony Shaffer, and for getting the type of work wrong: a detective novel and not a play, and notes that Shaffer has not revealed what happened at the end, prolonging his 'agony'; thanks him for kind remarks about his column.
