The first annual entry, for 1868/69 (AH 1285), places Süleyman Rıfad Efendi in Skopje in the correspondence office (Tahrirat Kalemi). The lists have no entry for 1869 to 1872. Süleyman Rıfad then moved to Kyustendil in 1872/73. For 1873 to 1877 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1872/73 give a second post, in Skopje in the Tahrirat Kalemi. Next came a post with no place named from 1877 to 1885. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1879 and 1880 to 1884. The last post was in Pristina (Priştine) in 1885/86. No annual entry gives a salary. The final annual entry is for 1885/86.
