I am attempting to locate the current whereabouts of the account book, or
journal, of the London merchant Henry Lascelles. It was begun in 1753 as an
executors' account book. The manuscript (of c.100 pages) was last seen in
the early 1940s when it was in the possession of Mr. Stanley Evans of the
London West India firm of Wilkinson and Gaviller. The manuscript disappeared
some time around the death of Mr. Evans in 1950. All information welcome.
