http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24046318

Papers related to Pynchon's defense against charges by the Connecticut General Court related to his trading of corn with the Mohawk Indians of the Connecticut River Valley (now Mass.). The charges maintained that Pynchon raised the price of corn for his own economic gain. Included here is Pynchon's defense to the Church of Windsor, Ct. from which he sought public support after being fined by the General Court. The Church was unconvinced by Pynchon's attempted defense.
