The final manuscript of the book, complete with illustrations, was donated to the Lakefield Historical Society, which was the driving force of the book that resulted from Delledonne’s collecting. An additional accrual, .3 meters, was received from the Lakefield Historical Society, October 2015. Most of this accrual was placed in Series L.
