Much has been written of the simplicity of
Jefferson. To many Mtmtlcello slgjilneB only a
lino exanjple of Colonial America roominess and
comfort. In fact. Jefferson furnished h' iracslon
not with crude manufactures cf the Colonies, but
fitted his borne with all tlm ornate richness of
the finest palaces of continental Kurope. And, I
hs In tho decorating' and furnishing of the "build- j
log, he was equally '-sthetic in his care for the ,
creature comfort of bis ru-eIs, '
ilost of tho things that were In Jefferson
rtudy havo be.m lost track of, but Mr. Levy still
has a few, and on one corner of the floor there
remain thousands of ink stains made by Jpffer
sons' flipping off the superfluous Ink from his
quilt.
Of the original articles there . remain a flat
writing table made by Jefferson upon which It Is
said ho made the rirat draft of tho Declaration of
Imlnpflndencu.
When Jefferson died his relatives and heirs de
cided they could not afford tho great expense of
keeping open the house as It then stood. Much
of tho furniture and furnishings were distributed
by will, gift or purchase. Mrs. Martha Jeffcr
foil Ituudolph, daughter of tho statesman and
executrix of his will, decided to continue her
home nt Kdgo Hill, the Randolph estate, nnd
was anxious to dispose of Montlcello, The place
was Mild to James T llaiclay, a missionary, who
held It but a short tlnm and thou offered It for
sale,
Commodoro Uriah Phillips Levy, limn n Hc.
tenant In the navy, drove from Now York city to
.Montlcello to Inspect the property and concluded
a dual hy which ho acquired from Harcl.iy tho
Jeffensyii innimiou nnd 218 acres of the orlglnnl
eslale. It was run down from lack of attention
and I hoi o was III lln or the original Inside fur
nishings left Hnitm"iill reneoiiH prompted tlm
commodoro to get liimh tlm thlnpH that had h
lougeil to the man who built the wonderful house,
and for years ho nought to regain the articles
that had been scattered about the country.
Then came the war of tho states, and the com
mo.loro, continuing lil nllr.gtr.ncn tn tho Union,
whh declared an "alien enemy" hy tlm Confed
eracy, tlm oatiilo was conllscntcd and tho contents
advert Isc.d for sain at public auction. Again tho
mansion was partly stripped of Its furnishings,
and many pieces of furniture wero sold at tho
confiscation tmlo to families reHlding lu the neigh
hnihoiid. Home of tlm articles were returned
after tho war,
Aftor tlm wnr, however, wlmn legal adjust
ment or urn ostato of t'omnmdoro Levy was Imd
and Jefferson ,M. Levy Inherited tho property, Mr.
Lnvy continued (m Inborn of the commodore In
restoring tlm homo as Joffcriion had planned nnd
left It.
A majoilty of tho articles wero recovered, but
those pieces that had been taken from the coun
try were beyond reach and fow of them wero trnced.
With thin ns his nucleus, however, Jefferson M.
Levy made thorough search of family records and
documents, an well an getting Information from
living friends and relatives who hnd known tlm
home when Jefferson lived, nnd from that Hat
Im has since attempted to get In his many trips
abroad exact duplicates of the works of art,
furniture and ornaments originally brought from
Trance bv Jcffcnion In this Mr l.ovy Iuib suc
ceeded with conaldernhlo nccuracy, fitting up
Montlcello so oxnetly as It was originally that
Thomas Jefferson might atop Into tho home In
spirit and find It familiar with objects lutlmnto
with his o'irthly residence,
ov.r and decide at leisure about these
different points. An economy in build
ing may not be an economy In after
years. It la sometimes better to in
crease tho purchase price mortgage
sufficiently to cover certain extra
costs, In order to have the houso as
you want It; because, under satisfac
tory conditions, the Increased enjoy
ment In occupying tho house ib worth
a good deal more than the additional
Interest. However, each person must
decide such questions for himself
