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.

Wednesday 13th




Shopping in morning. Worked in P.M. Howe's party left for Cebu on the 'Reyes'. Mail from the States on the 'Dorie' but none for me. Bought some Boston Sunday Heralds and got news of the Brown, Yale, and Harvard games and the relay race at Phila. Those papers are the best things I have seen in Manila. With Colbert in evening. We leave Friday at four P.M. Will be glad to get to work. Got vaccinated again.
