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.

Friday July 13th


In camp near the Sicabia Riv. Ran about three miles over good going. Followed the transit party all day. Moved into camp in the evening. We are in an old nipa shack out in the foot hills away from civilization. We all sleep in one room and have to eat in a tent. Quite a come down from Manapla. Had a great time in the evening dosing up the hombres. They all wanted some medicine so we filled them up with double doses of compound catliartic pills. Got mail and I got two Boston Journals of the same date (May 31st), one from Ma and one from Roy, but no letters. Found out that Dartmouth won the Worcester meet.
