Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

Knots Fosse, Gt. Chishill, Royston, Herts. - Thanks him for his letter; it is hard to find a companion to go away with; was snowed in a week ago, and was dug out by lads from the village, which he would have understood if he were famous and not 'a crumbling, oofy old Theatrical Manager'; is happy all goes well; his dear friend Molly Keane has written 'Good Behaviour' which nearly won the Booker Prize, and has been bought by the BBC for a TV serial.
