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. August 31st



Ran some spur lines to get topography of land for terminal, and finished up at night just as it started to rain. I still have 20 sta to take so hope it won't rain long. Roberts and Rosario went back with the pack train. Telegraph line here is out of order so we can't get word of any steamer to take us back to Silay and we may have to walk.
