Life and register readings

Osman Hilmi Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1862/63 (AH 1279). At about 18, in 1880/81, Osman Hilmi began work in Shkodër. From the first annual entry, for 1880/81, to 1892/93, every annual entry places Osman Hilmi in the same post, Vilayet Mektubçu Kalemi mülazımı, in Shkodër, the birthplace.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to 300 in 1892/93, the peak, in Shkodër, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 12 years of salary come to 20,040 kuruş, 34 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.
