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.

Sat. July 14th


Leveled across the Secabia River and about a mile besides. Ended up near camp and came in to lunch. Transit party came in too and we didn't work in the afternoon as it rained. Shack we are living in thickly peopled with chickens and lizards. Had a fine sleep all night until the rooster chorus started up about 4 A.M.
