Thursday 24th
Fine day. Loafed around hotel about all day. Worked on tables in P.M. Went up in tenderloin district after supper and saw fight between French sailor and a Jap.
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.

What was the year or approximate time period of Mr. Hatch's diary? I find that he was born 3 Nov 1883 in Norwell, MA and died in May of 1963, possibly Rhode Island.
