I did receive a response from Ann Newton Holmes regarding the Suttee which my dad witnessed. She was delighted, but currently overwhelmed because her husband is in a hospital fighting for his life. She promised to get back to me when her life normalizes.
Ann apparently travels to India for 2-4 weeks every year. She is a free-lance writer so she probably collects ideas for articles. I was really thrilled to hear that the Maharaja's wife Rani (known as Kuku to my dad) is still alive, still elegant and beautiful, according to Ann.
I need to make a trip to India...just to pay my respects.
