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.

Sat. Oct. 13th


Cooper went ahead to look up the country around La Castallana. Rest of us ran about two miles through big high cane. An old Spaniard came out and tried to stop us going through his cane, the last we saw of him he as headed for the house to get a gun. Fine day all day. Called on Shirrard in evening.
