We have computed energies of ${}^{16}\mathrm{Ne}$ levels in a core plus two-nucleon space, using known ${}^{16}\mathrm{C}$ energies and existing wave functions. We have then used these energies to compute properties of the first three levels of ${}^{17}\mathrm{Na}$. Significant differences are found with results of a recent microscopic-cluster-model formulation.
