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.

Manapal Thursday 12th


Fair and cool all day. Leveled 90 sta. on the E. line while the transit party split up and took topog. Move camp to-morrow. Rodrigo thinks we are getting too far from home and wants to go back to Silay. A steamer stopped off here last night and an American, Mr. Johnson, who is interested in a sawmill at Cadiz came ashore and took supper with us.
