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.

Thursday July 26th


Started in work and stuck at it all day. Cooper had fever at noon so we got a good long rest. Party ran tow mi. and we came in in a boat. Bought 58 pineapples for 1 peso. Calhoun decided to leave in the morning and Cooper goes to Ass.t Loc. Eng. Weston gets the transit and I get topography. No rain all day.
