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.

Monday June 18th



Laid round all day and worked a little helping with the baggage. Sent ten dollars home. Wrote to Abbie. We leave on the launch at 8 to-morrow A.M. Showers. "Patsy" fell off a horizontal bar while doing some stunts for the edification of a crown of admiring natives. Scared the natives but didn't do any serious damage to himself.
