Bigelow, Melville M.: Boston, (Massachusetts) to Monsignor (Robert) Seton: (Jersey City, New Jersey), 1895 March 19

Bigelow thanks Seton for his letter about their common ancestor, Seiher de Quincy. He was glad to hear an explanation of the curious Christian name of the old Earl of Winton. He has given some attention to the history of the Bohnns, Earl of Hereford. He hopes someday to write the story of the family. His own name is a pure Americanism; it is Watertown, Mass(achusetts), from 1636, for Bageley. That was the name is Suffolk of the first Bigelow who may have been of the Baguleys of Cheshire. Enclosed is a printed review of Bigelow's "Elements of the Law of Torts."
