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.

Wed. Jan. 2nd


Camp outfit left LaCastellan for Bacolod, got as far as Carlota. Gard and I went from Soledad to Hinigaran. Woke up this morning and found Soledad full of constabulary expecting an attack from the pulajanes. We took dinner with Townsend in Binalbagan and went to Himigiran where we stayed in our old camp.

*pulajanes- peasant followers of a messianistic cult who fought the US Army from 1902-1911
