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. Oct. 19th


Crossed the Bago River and ran about two miles toward La Carlota. The King Crab joined us about ten A.M. full of large stories of his hardships on the reconnaissance south. Rained hard about three and we quit and came on into the old camp. Seemed like getting home once more. Found mail in camp and I got letters dated about Sept. 1 st from Ma, Abbie, and Carrie.
