(47) Is there ellipsis of the non-finite verb and its object?

Mary will write a book and John will write a book too.

Mary will write a book and John will __ too.

Mary will write a book and John will do so, too.

Replace by a different tense if necessary

Explanation: Can non-finite verb + object be elided as a constituent, to the exclusion of the subject? Is there a pro-form replacing the verb + object constituent?

Background: This addresses the constituency of object and verb.
