Life and register readings
The life of Mustafa Şevket Efendi began in Bosna. The annual lists begin in 1882/83 (AH 1300), with Mustafa Şevket as Telgrafhane muhabere memuru in Diyarbakır, where the entries run to 1884/85. At the same time, from 1884 to 1888, the lists also place Mustafa Şevket in Tokat as Telgraf merkezi memuru. The lists have no entry for 1888 to 1896. Alongside, the lists for 1887/88 give a second post, in Elbistan as Telgraf merkezi memuru. The last entries, from 1896 to 1899, name Mustafa Şevket as Telgraf ve posta merkezleri müdürü, with no place. For 1899 to 1904 the lists have no entry. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1904/05 instead of a title.
The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 800 in 1898/99, the peak, when 78 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1904/05.
