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.

Thurs. Nov. 8 th


The whole crowd was more or less on the bum to-day so everybody stayed in and worked on the estimates. It rained hard in the afternoon and all the night. We got a bunch of mail in the afternoon and I got letters from Ma, Abbie, Roy, June and Ralph Wilder all dated around Sept 10th to 20th. Abbie and Austin sent me three boxes of Dill’s tobacco as a birthday present and Roy sent me a couple plugs of Lucky Strike.
