See image. (1799) 1p., 4to, bifolium, very good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed in another hand on reverse of second leaf to 'Monsieur le Doctor Brown | Medicin de la Majesté la Reine | regnante de Prusse | Berlin', and docketed (presumably by Brown) 'J. Randall Coachmaker | 1789 | London June 30 | recd. July 13 - | with a Receipt in full inclosed -' (the receipt is not present). Brown begins: 'I have sent you enclos'd a receipt in full for what you was Indebted to me'. He would have answered Brown's letter before, but has been 'very Ill for these six weeks past & oblig'd to be by the Sea side'. He returns his 'most sincere thanks' for Brown's 'kind Favor's [sic]', and hopes to have 'any future Commissions which you wish to have executed'. Randall was one of the foremost London coachmakers of the period, serving in 1806 as Master of the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London. He was also a member of Dunckerley's Lodge of Harmony No. 255. There are several references to Brown and his family in 'Berlin and the Prussian Court in 1798: Journal of Thomas Boylston Adams, Secretary to the United States Legation at Berlin' (1916), and there is a disparaging comment on him in 'The Diaries and Letters of Sir George Jackson' (London: Bentley, 1872), vol.1, p.113.
