- Washington DC: Gibson Brothers. A booklet entitled 'Monticello and its Preservation since Jefferson's Death, 1826-1902' which mentions Commodore Levy on page three and states on page four: 'Almost a generation before Mt. Vernon was bought for preservation by a society, Monticello was quietly bought for preservation by a commissioned officer of the United States Navy at a time when race and religion prejudices were making their last sullen resistance to Jefferson's justice.' The back four pages contain information about the sale of Monticello, flogging in the Navy and a note on Commodore Levy's gift of a statue of Jefferson, printed in Washington.
