Summary
Offering congratulations on their new project, saying "it sounds terribly interesting" and "seems to have just the sort of things you're marvellous at"; admitting that she had promised to "send you the Delhi jackal howls [i.e., the Delhi reviews of "Bombay Talkie"], but "I don't want to because I don't want any shadow like that to fall on you now"; noting that not sending the reviews now also means she doesn't have to read them either; imagining their frantic pre-production activities, and hoping they are also "frantically happy."
