Monday 7th
Cold and rainy all day. Nice breeze astir all day and the boat had a fine side roll to it and there were several contestants in the lunch putting contests over the rail. Worked on earthwork tables a little. Made 345 knots.
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.
