Life and register readings
The life of Mustafa Lütfi Efendi began in Harput in 1851/52 (AH 1268). Work began in 1871/72, at about 19, on a first salary of 235 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1871/72, with Mustafa Lütfi as Rüsûmat Emaneti meyva gümrüğü mebsurluğu and no place named. At the same time, from 1874 to 1877, the lists also place Mustafa Lütfi in Arnavutkoy as Meyva gümrüğü memuru. The last posts were in Istanbul from 1877 to 1880 and Üsküdar in 1892/93. The lists have no entry for 1880 to 1892.
Pay rose from 235 kuruş a month in 1871/72 to a peak of 380 in 1877/78, in Istanbul, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 36,960 kuruş, 71 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1892/93.
