The Journal of Fletcher Ames Hatch

Being an account of my experience while at work for the Philippine R.R. Co. After you have read these pages, don't talk to me about all engineers having a snap.

If anything happens to me this book is to be sent to my brother Israel Hatch, RD#1, Rockland, Massachusetts, USA.

Sunday, April 22nd



Woke up near Fort Wayne, Ind. Had breakfast and then sat in the observation car all the way across Indiana and Illinois. Level country and lots of long tangents, counted one 16 inches long. Got to St. Louis at 2:10 and changed there for Kansas City which we reached at 9:30. Met Kennard at the station and found Oliver at the hotel. Doyle backed out on account of his girl.
