From a late London Magazine. Cupid in India. A fact.
About two years since,, a gentleman of property in Bengal,
wrote to a friend in London, deploring the state of beauty
in that scorching climate, and requesting him to prevail on
some young lady, well born and educated, with a tolerable
share of personal charms, to make a voyage to India, giving
him his honour to make her immediately his wife. The
gentleman who received the commission,, was induced to send
his daughter, who, to a disengaged heart, added beauty,
music, and every accomplishment. . . [33 more lines,
describing the adventures of the young lady and her suitors]
