Every state except New Mexico[edit]

Why bother to mention that New Mexico did not have this law, a century before it existed as a state? Is this also meant to imply that other territories, not yet states, did pass such legislation? Could somebody please change this line, to state specifically which states and territories has censorship laws, or at least remove the reference to New Mexico? If there is a reason for mentioning New Mexico at all, it requires explanation. 174.79.33.25 (talk) 12:55, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cadwallader Colden as Addressee[edit]

The article suggests Cadwallader Colden as the young man to whom the letter was addressed, but this makes no sense. He was already married in 1715, 30 years before the letter was written. Maybe his son? --Nomenclaturist (talk) 03:26, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
