charles, above is surely stretching point that you wish to make about 
marx communicating with lincoln, how many other congratulations
did lincoln receive...

re. this document, marx's name was one among many signatories, adams' 
reply was sent to cremer who was the honorary general secretary, how
likely is it that adams knew marx had written the draft letter...

i recall reading somewhere that lincoln never actually saw the international's
correspondence, but i'll withhold asserting that as i don't remember where i
may have read that and i don't have time to try to find the source...

marx was apparently thrilled by adams' reply, which he calls 'lincoln's response'
in a letter to engels about the matter...   mh
