I haven't seen anyone note that the person who replied to Marx's letter in his role as US Ambassador to the United Kingdom (Charles Francis Adams) was the son of America's 6th president (John Quincy Adams) and grandson of the 2nd president and Founding Father (John Adams). I highly recommend David McCullough's biography "John Adams." Even if you're not really into history (I'm not) it's actually a pretty good read and entertainingly covers most of US History from 1750 to 1830.
