Sayers wrote about how she and Eric had rescued a girl who had become pregnant, and they helped her with making arrangements to have her baby and get a job afterwards. However, she was getting tired of the job in France and her unfulfilling relationship with Whelpton and he also wanted to leave the job and move to Florence. He was considering marriage and Dorothy realised that the relationship was going nowhere.
For the next few years, her letters were mostly about London, trying to find a new steady job, and moving from flat to flat. She got a job in Bensons Advertising Agency and at first enjoyed it, writing to her parents about her hopes that the job would provide her with a steady income, while she continued to write. She began writing her first Lord Peter book and told her family and friends about the progress of the writing... and how she researched crimes in the British Library.
She visited friends and family in London, and then began to write to her parents about her new boyfriend, John Cournous. She was plainly very much in love with him.
