HuH?

Okay, from the top.
"There once was a Furrier named Will,
Whose water rights Stearns found a pill. . . .

See, Springfield founder William Pynchon's offspring John begot a number 
of 'well endowed' [monetarily] kids who also begat and with the expanded family 
bizness, they had a run-in with up-and-comer Charles Stearns over property 
rights and [in particular] water rights, this resulted in legal battles and 
animosity that went on for many years and this legal haggling led to what is now 
known as the Waste Doctrine. I can get bits and pieces of information from 
nearby historical records as to what happened, but nothing like a full record of 
the court case, though I'm very close. But there are a number of very 
interesting issues that relate directly to TRPV's books. Of particular interest, 
T.S.. Eliot's mother's maiden name is Stearns, and in terms of where her family 
comes from and when she was born, she might be the daughter of Charles Stearns. 
So, you can see the potential interest in family history for Our Beloved Author, 
seeing as he cops to being smitten by "The Waste Land". And if my eyeballs
are not decieving me, I'm seeing material involving legal dissolution of estates
in CoL49 that point directly to legal records in the Pynchon v. Stearns, with 
loads of 5 point matches.
