TRANSCRIPTION: "American Embassy / Rome // April 10, 1915 // Dear Father // It has just struck me that now that dear Col. Willlaim Jay is dead Moppy (or rather Arthur Iselin) will want to sell their part of the property on the corner of Pearl and Broad Streets. I hope very much indeed that you will not consent to sell your share of this land. // You may not remember my great grandfather and your grandfather Peter A. Jay's will - which is given in full in Jack Jay's 'Reminiscences of Peter A. Jay' - In it he solemnly charges his descendents to hold on to this property and never to be induced by any stress to mortgage it, saying that it is the first land bought by our family in America. // Though we have lost Rye and now Bedford will no longer be Jay, we still have something to be proud of, namely an undisputed title to a piece of ground in New York handed down from father to son for well over 200 years -- a very rare thing in America. // I daresay that it may not pay expenses and it would be more business like to sell it instead of paying high taxes, but I very much hope you will not do so. // On the contrary, I hope you will leave it to me in your will with the reversion to Lanny's boy, in case I have no son (as unfortunately seems likely). // Believe me, dearest Father // love // Peter" The relatives PAJ refers to in the letter are William Jay II (1841-1915), the great grandson of American Founding Father John Jay. He was called "the Colonel" on account of his rank during the Civil War. In civilian life he was a lawyer, specializing in real estate law. William Jy and his wife Lucie Oelrichs Jay were fixtures in the upper class, Gilded Age set known as "the Four Hundred." Their only surviving child Eleanor Jay Iselin (1882-1953) was called "Moppy" on account of her unruly hair. She married Arthur Iselin in 1904, and she inherited Bedford House when her father died in 1915. After her death in 1953 Eleanor Jay Iselin the Jay family Bedford Estate became an historical museum memorializing John Jay and his family. The author of this letter, Peter Augustus Jay (1877 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 of the Supreme Court.

Pershing" Included is the printed calling card of Mrs. Frederick Lewis Perry with the penciled note "Savoy Hotel" , card bears a mark from old paperclip. General John J. Pershing had a long association with Mrs. Frederick Lewis Perry; in fact, his brother Ward B. Pershing was best man at the wedding of Mary Hooper Jouett and Lt. Frederick Lewis Perry in 1901. At the time of this letter, Peter A. Jay was U.S. Ambassador to Argentina. It is interesting to delve into the history related to the three individuals principal to this piece of correspondance. MRS. FREDERICK LEWIS PERRY -- Mary Hooper Jouett Perry (1868-1945) was the daughter of Major William Burchett Hooper of the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco. Major Hooper ventured to California in the first years of the gold rush. Rather than cast his lot with the miners, he embarked in the mercantile business on an extended scale. Through his management, the Occidental Hotel acquired a wide fame and became the recognized hostelry for naval and military officers and ecclesiastical and fraternal leaders. Nearly three years after his death, the hotel was severely damaged in the 1906 earthquake and had to be torn down. In September 1901 Mary Hooper Jouett married Lt. Frederick Lewis Perry of the Artillery Corps, U.S.A. at the Occidental Hotel. Lt. Ward Beecher Pershing (4th Cavalry, U.S.A., brother of General John J. Pershing) was Perry's best man. [Ward Pershing (1874-1909) died of illness contracted during his service in the Philippines War.] Lt. Perry, as aide to General Hale in the First Colorado Infantry, was slightly wounded in the Philippines. Perry was soon promoted to Captain, and they spent years at various postings from Virginia to the San Francisco Bay Area. Mary had two sons, William Hooper Jouett and John Hamilton Jouett; both served in the military. Recruited by Chiang Kai-shek, retired Major John H. Jouett lead 17 American instructor pilots, who were hired to turn the Chinese Aviation School into a replica of the United States' Randolph Field. They spent two years in the war-torn nation completing the training of 335 Chinese cadets using an American system similar to the one used at Randolph Field in Texas. PETER AUGUSTUS JAY -- Peter Augustus Jay (1877 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 Chief Justice of the United States. In 1902, he began his professional diplomatic career at the American embassy in Paris followed by service in Constantinople. Jay became Chargé 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. GENERAL JOHN JOSEPH PERSHING, GCB (1860 1948) was a senior American United States Army officer. He served most famously as the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during World War I from 1917 to 1920. In addition to leading the AEF to victory in World War I, Pershing notably served as a mentor to many in the generation of generals who led the United States Army during World War II, including George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, Lesley J. McNair, George S. Patton, and Douglas MacArthur. Pershing reported for active duty in 1887, and was assigned to Troop L of the 6th U.S. Cavalry in the New Mexico Territory. Between 1887 and 1890, he served at various postings in New Mexico, Arizona, and South Dakota. Pershing participated in several Indian campaigns and was cited for bravery for actions against the Apache. In 1895 Pershing, as a first lieutenant, took command of a troop of the 10th Cavalry Regiment, one of the original Buffalo Soldier regiments composed of African-American soldiers led by white officers. In the SpanishAmerican War, he and his 10th Cavalry troop fought on Kettle and San Juan Hills in Cuba, and he was cited for gallantry. Theodore Roosevelt, who also participated in those battles, said that "Captain Pershing is the coolest man under fire I ever saw in my life." When the PhilippineAmerican War began, Pershing reported to Manila and was assigned to the Department of Mindanao and Jolo, He commanded efforts to suppress the Filipino Insurrection. He was cited for bravery for actions on the Cagayan River while attempting to destroy a Philippine stronghold at Macajambo. Pershing served as an observer in the Russo-Japanese War attached to General Kuroki Tamemoto's Japanese First Army in Manchuria.
