Lord and Lady Phillimore’s Garden Party


This invitation was found inside a trunk belonging to Justice George Sutherland. Lord and Lady Phillimore hosted a garden party at the Cam House for members of the American Bar Association in London, England, on July 21, 1924. The Association met with its counterparts from the British and Canadian Bar Associations for several days of meetings, afternoon teas, and dinner parties. One account recalls Charles Evans Hughes, then Secretary of State, attending the party and giving remarks alongside other dignitaries, including Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone and Justice Sutherland. Stone would later become an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in 1925 and Chief Justice of the United States in 1941.
