Commentary
The landing in front refers to the flat loggia at first floor level, the subject of the letter from Kinnard, the Surveyor on Tuesday the 8th. The complaints do not appear to have hampered progress with the build, as another floor has been added. The pilaster is a projecting column-like decoration on the East corner wall. Unmentioned in this entry, September the 10th was also Soane's birthday.
