Life and register readings
Mehmet Sami Efendi was born in Tuzla in 1851/52 (AH 1268). The first annual entry, for 1870/71, names Mehmet Sami as Telgraf muhabere memuru, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1877/78 give a second post, in Višegrad as Telgraf muhabere memuru. The annual lists then follow Mehmet Sami to Pristina in 1878/79. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1892 give a second post, in Edirne as Merkez posta seyyar memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1906 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Seyyar posta memuru.
The salary went from 380 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to 700 in 1905/06, the peak, when 70 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.
