Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Ali Haşim Efendi began in Mecca (Mekke) in 1851/52 (AH 1268); the father's occupation was "Hicaz Vilayeti Mektubi Kalemi başkatibi". Work began in 1886/87, at about 35. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with Mehmed Ali Haşim as Hicaz Vilayeti Mektubi Kalemi mülazımı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1889.

Pay rose from 40 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 75 in 1891/92, when 3 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 2,760 kuruş, 14 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1892/93.
