Thomas. He claims that Thomas "represented Said negroe girl to be Sound & healthy and of good mind all of which reprisentations he new to be untrue and was made ... for the purpose of cheating & defrauding your orator." Short says that Nancy is "unsound" and "almost an idiot," so she is worth $400 less than he paid.
