From book searches to the future of Quakerism

Searching for books. Please help…

I am searching for a manuscript of John Woolman’s 1772 journey in England that was last known to be in the possession of the late Guy Worsdell of London, and before that at Almery Garth in York, where Woolman died. This particular manuscript has not been seen since the early 1970s. It is not at Friends House Library nor at other likely research libraries, so it might have passed down to a descendent of Worsdell. I would be very interested in viewing this manuscript and would be grateful for assistance in locating it and/or Worsdell’s descendents.
