Life and register readings

Mustafa Necati Efendi was born in Gelibolu; the father was a tradesman (esnaf). Work began in Keşan in 1883/84 (AH 1301), on a first salary of 180 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, names Mustafa Necati as telgraf ve posta memuru, with no place, with a rise to communications official (Muhabere Memuru) in 1896/97. For 1886 to 1896 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1885/86.

The salary went from 180 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 500 in 1900/01, the peak, as Muhabere Memuru, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
