Photocopy of a story published in 1953.

Typescript with a label on the front page for Christopher Mann Ltd, 140 Park Lane, London.

Typescript draft with emendations in unidentified hands, of a Mr Verity mystery written with Anthony Shaffer.

Notes on Troutbeck case towards the front of the volume. [This case, in which Sir Frederick Pollock acted for the claimants, was heard in the 1830s, and so the book may have been begun then, and only later used for mathematical notes].

Dates given for Pollock's mathematical notes run from 17 Dec. 1857 to 1 Mar. 1858. They include proofs under the heading 'a remarkable property of the odd squares is that any two adjoining ones may be represented thus...', p. 202-

Also present are notes on French vocabulary (p 256), and verse (pp 404-411).

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.
