Brink executed a bill of sale in which he warranted the slave to be \"sound in mind and body.\"  Two days after Henry was delivered, Summers learned that the slave was \"labouring under a species of dysentery.\"  Summers wrote to Brink, and Brink sent a verbal reply that \"he would do nothing in the business.\"  Summers asserts that Brink knew that the slave was unsound in body at the time of the sale; for this reason, he will return the slave \"so soon as humanity will permit.\"  He requests that Brink be compelled to return the note and repay the $40, and in addition pay him a fair compensation for \"nursing and supporting said slave and for medical attendance.\"","subjects":[{"subject":"Diseases (physical)"},{"subject":"Warranty (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Purchase\/Sale prices (enslaved)"}]}]}
