Item description from seller

5" X 5.75"; 1 pages; An engraved invitation (measures 5" X 5.75") printed on cream card stock bearing the embossed gilt seal of the Cuban Embassy. The text reads "In honor of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson / The Cuban Ambassador / and Madame Ferrara / request the honor of the company of / Mrs. Peter Augustus Jay / at Dinner / on Thursday February 26th / at eight o'clock / R.S.V.P." Provenance: This invitation is addressed to 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. Orestes Ferrara y Marino (1876 - 1972), known in Italy as Oreste Ferrara, was an Italian Cuban, who fought for Cuba's independence. He was also an attorney, a journalist, a writer and an entrepreneur who founded one of the most successful newspapers of La Habana, El Heraldo de Cuba. He served as Cuba's Ambassador to the United States during the Coolidge Administration.
