Publication date

I have removed the information that says the issue of Graham's that included "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" as April 20, 1841, despite it being sourced. The magazine was monthly and, therefore, would not have had an exact date. In fact, an April issue would have been available before the month of April. According to the Poe Log, at least two reviews of the story were published in other publications before April. See this page for info. --Midnightdreary (talk) 00:12, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
