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.

Escalante. Moved into Escalante. Line about two miles from the town as yet. Ran about a mile this morning and got into a swamp so went back and started a new line and White and I quit and came into camp. Got mail from the States and I got letters from Ma, Ab, Bertha, and Couley. We are living in the convent here with the padre.
