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.

Fri. 27th


My first day as topographer. Worked alone all day with two native assistants and took 70 stations and meandered two rivers. We got a heavy mail at night and I got two letters from Jr. one from Abbie and one from Boston. Jr.s letter dated June 14th said that Pa passed away Sunday the 10th of June.
Pleasant all day.
