Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Kemal Efendi began in Mecca (Mekke) in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Mekke İmareti eski divan kâtibi". At about 16, in 1883/84, Mehmed Kemal began work in Mecca, on a first salary of 273 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Mehmed Kemal as Mekke İmareti Arabî kâtibi in Mecca, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1886/87. Alongside, the lists for 1886 to 1904 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Hicaz Vilayeti Mektubî Kalemi mülazımı.
The salary went from 273 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 1,000 in 1894/95, the peak, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over 19 years the salaries add up to 173,952 kuruş, 1.9 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.
