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.

Fri. Sept. 25th Bacolod


Laid up in camp with sore leg. Lanced it in morning. Wrote to Roy. Fine day all
day. Camp boy arrested for not having ceslula (ID Card required to be carried at
all times) Natives in this town mean bunch. Don't see much good in this country
anyway. White had another one of his nightmares last night and we worked
about fifteen minutes before we could wake him up.
