Teale (Henry H., of Leeds) Correspondence and receipts relating to William Teale, Benjamin Teale and the career of Henry Teale,numerous pp., sm. 4to & 8vo, c. 1837-57, on the activities of Henry Teale, this letter by John Bradbury of Bradbury & Greatorex, "Dear William [his brother] It is with feelings of deep regret, that I am compelled to write you, on the conduct of your brother Henry: you are no doubt aware that about a month ago I informed your Father that we had found out that he had been sloping from home 2 & 3 nights a week and we were afraid he had got into bad society: this has unfortunately proved too true, for yesterday we received a communication that he had formed an acquaintance with a Woman of the town, and that Goods had been given to her by him; supposed to be abstracted by him from our warehouse... I am sure you will agree with us that after such a circumstance we cannot allow your brother to remain with us any longer... it would be impossible for us as honourable men to give him a character of honesty...", and Henry's subsequent career in Kingston, Jamaica trading sugar, folds, some tears, some browning(qty)

***Henry Teale after having disgraced himself and his family was evidently packed off to Jamaica to save any further scandal. Some of the material are bills run up by Henry from the firm of Bradbury & Greatorex..
