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.

Thurs. Sept. 20th


Got up from our bamboo bed about 5 o'clock and started out to look for our truck.
Finally found Barber camping out side of the road. John and the boys rustled round
and got some breakfast which tasted pretty good. After breakfast we loaded up again
and finally started out to look for a place to camp. We finally found a good place
and are living in a fine big house on Larson's hacienda. Went out in P.M. and
started on end of C-line to connect it up with D-line. Rained so came in early. Mr.
Farnham came in from Bacalod with some mail and I got two letters from Ab. one from
Ma and one from "Babs". First time I have had any mail for three weeks.
