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.

Thurs. July 19th


Another cold wet day. Still running on the G-line. Crossed the Sicalia River again and are looking for a place to cross the ridge ahead of camp. A typhoon came up in the afternoon, blew down trees and nearly blew camp to pieces. Quit work and came in about three in the afternoon. Feeling a little on the bum at night, headache and sore throat.
