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.

En route from Yokahana to Kobe. Foggy and hot and muggy. Sailed along the sight of coast nearly all the way and reached Kobe 8:30 PM. Quarantine. Raining hard now so stayed aboard. Sat up nearly all night reading "The Spoilers". Fine book.
