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.

Monday Aug. 6th


Stayed in camp and helped Worthington on the projected profile. I was caught up with the transit party so there was nothing for me to do in the field. Went up to the saw mill in the P.M and made me a topog. Rod. Shaved and Worthington clipped my hair for the first time since we left Iloilo. Saw some alligators in the river at night and we tied a dog on the bank and tried for a shot at them but didn't ________. Hughes and Porter came back from up river and spent the night with us again. Hot as blazes all day.
