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.

[transcribed from the original diary by Wynona B. and Jon-Richard Little, 2007]

Sat. Sept. 15th



Went out with the transit party and ran eleven sta. less than 5 mi. straight out
across country towards Granada. Quit about 4:45 and walked in all of seven miles,
arriving at camp about six thirty. Quarantine declared on Iloilo and we are somewhat
shut off from the world. Haven't had any mail for two weeks and a half and no
telling when we will get any now. Rained in p.m.
