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.

Cold and cloudy all day. Figured on tables in morning. They are getting up a pool on the ship's run tomorrow. They had the drawing in the smoking room tonight and then auctioned off the tickets. My number is 329. We made 348 today and I should get to Yokahama some time Sunday.
