The text reads "The Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson/ request the honor of the company of / Mr. and Mrs. Jay / at breakfast / on Wednesday the first of January/ at half after twelve o'clock / at the Pan American Union" Provenance: This invitation was to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Augustus Jay -- Peter Augustus Jay (1877 â" 1933) was an American diplomat born in 1877 at Newport, Rhode Island, into the esteemed Jay family that traces its direct lineage to John Jay, Founding Father and first United States Chief Justice. In 1902, he began his professional diplomatic career at the American embassy in Paris followed by service in Constantinople. Jay became Chargà d'Affaires in Tokyo in 1908, where he served until the end of 1909 when President William Howard Taft appointed him Consul General to Egypt in Cairo (1910 - 1913). In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Jay as U.S. Minister to El Salvador; soon after President Warren G. Harding, made him U.S. Minister to Romania (1921-1925), where he assisted in negotiating that country's repayment terms of $42 million for wartime and post World War I development loans. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge appointed him U.S. Ambassador to Argentina. This was his last foreign service job, as he resigned his post and returned to Washington, D.C in December 1926, following the death of his young daughter Emily. Henry Lewis Stimson (1867 â" 1950) was an American statesman, lawyer, and Republican Party politician. Over his long career, he emerged as a leading figure in U.S. foreign policy by serving in both Republican and Democratic administrations. He served as Secretary of War (1911â"1913) under President William Howard Taft, Secretary of State (1929â"1933) under President Herbert Hoover, and again Secretary of War (1940â"1945) under Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, overseeing American military efforts during World War II.…
