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 28th


Fine day all A.M. Wrote to Abbie at noon time. Had an easy run and came in by boat, got here just as the rain came down in sheets. Serenaded in the evening by an orchestra. They played "Home Sweet Home" and "Hiawatha", which has just struck this island and is very popular.
