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."Diseases (physical)Warranty (enslaved)Purchase/Sale prices (enslaved)
