Monticello and Mr.. Levy.
To ne Editor of he Dispatch.


| To ne Editor of ne Dispatch:
4. Will you kindly inform several sab
scribers as to how Hon: Jefferson Levy
came into possession OF Monticello!
2. Nationality and religion OF SAID
owner?
3. Would not State or government own,
ersbip of this property he desirable. ana
has no effort ever been made IN that direc-
ton. Respectfully, ETC.. W. Is. T.
Monticello was left by Commodore Levy
(who bought 1t from Barclay. who bought
it at Mr.. Jefrerson's sale) to the United
States to establish school for ths sons OF
warrant officers of the navy. In default OF
the United States accepting 1t 1t was LETT
20 the State of Virginia for the same pur-
pose. and in default of the States accept
ance it was to go TO q synagogue IN Rich
mond.
The United States did not accept 1t. but
the State did. but in the mean time the
war came on and Commodore Levy's Will
was attacked IN New York by his heirs. ana
the New York court decided the Will to be
invalid.
The heirs at a later date after the war
fleda bill for partition in the state court
and the place was sold for partition. AT
that sale Mr.. jefferson NJ. Levy, the pres
ent owner. purchased it.
Mr.. Levy was nephew of Commodore
Levy; he is an Israelite, and was born IN
New York State. bat is now citizen OF
Virginia. We do not know OF any effort
being made to acquire the property by the
government. Probably State OF Federal
ownership would be desirable.
