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.

Rianed hard all night and all day. Hill, Gard, and I left about nine o'clock and found the transit party just at noon. Worked in the afternoon and caught up with the transit party. The camp outfit got in about noon so they had camp fixed up when we got in at night and it did seem good to get some dry clothes again. La Carlota is a pretty town in the center of a big stretch of flat country covered with high cane. It is supposed to be about half way between Silay and Hinawaylau.
