[Transcription of the handwritten notes:] Interurban cars 400 to 409 bought 1913 W. Silvus 3/1/53 I told you one time that I never remembered a trailer 616, I had not more than mailed the letter until I remembered that 616 was built about the same time as 617 out of an old 400 type South end trailer, and was used most all the time on the Den. [Denison] Div. I would see it stored around the cotton yards up around McKinney as I would pass going to Melissa. C. T. Dickenson 4/8/53 Pass trail car 407 was remodeled into a 3 compt car, Dec 1924 with 600 V eqpt and numbered 355. 408 was converted to a 3 compt. pass. car in Oct 1924 and renumbered 356 409 was converted to motor car - 3 compt. - in June 1924 and renumbered 363 (No -No - C.T.D.) [C.T.D. is C. T. Dickenson] W. Silvus 4/18/53 Also he lists trailer 409 as being converted into 363; nothing could be Further From correct, 321 was made into 363. C. T. Dickenson 4/26/53 I think that 617 was at one time 407, perhaps this was created about 1935. Im not sure. I think that 409 was used for a body for one of the old north end Pass. cars. C.T.
