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.

Wed. Aug.8th


Out on the line again. Took 74 stations of the roughest country I have had yet. Pretty hot all day and no rain. Mail came in from Cady at night and I got a letter from Abbie and one from Ira written soon after Pa died. Poor dear mother it must have been hard for her.
