First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1872/73 (AH 1289). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 100 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1873/74, the official was about 16 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1873/74, shows Mektubi Kalemi in Istanbul, with 100 kuruş a month.
