- Notes:
- AMDigital Reference:P43/1/16.
- A Long letter (12 pages), n.d., handwritten, pieced together, scribbled in haste, not addressed to anyone, by Isaac Markens (in folder 14 there are inquiries by Markens dated 1910) seeking to disprove that Levy was indeed a commodore in the U.S. Navy and to downplay Levy's role in eliminating flogging. Markens claims that the inscription on Levy's cemetery monument saying he fathered the law that abolished flogging is erroneous, and that John Hale was the true author.
