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.

Sun. Aug. 5th


Mr. Farnham, Patsy, Weston and I went up to the saw mill above here on the river. Stopped at Gil Lopez hacienda on the way up and had refreshments. Got to the mill about ten and stayed until about 3:30. Had a good chow with napkins and a table cloth. Came back and wrote to Helen & to Boston. Mr. Hughes and a Scotchman who has been here since '91 came over in the evening and stayed all night. Fine all day and rained during the night.
