According to this communication, the orders from the Ministry demanded the announcement of putting for dealing and usage post cards? (awrâq al mukhâbara al‘alaniya) of 10 paras value in Istanbul (Dâr al Sa‘âda) starting from the 31st of Tammûz (1)317, and in other provinces from the date of their arrival. Since these documents will be moved from one place to another inside of each town, speedy distribution becomes more organized. Soon, postal administrations in major cities will be taken care of; those interested should indicate the sealed date to the assigned Directorate. It was understood from the mentioned directorate that around 100,000 post cards have been dispatched. Therefore, the matter will be dealt with as of the 12th of August (1)317. Besides, a special distributor with a monthly salary of 150 piasters has been appointed to secure speedy delivery. Accordingly, the procedures have been announced on the 12th of Agustos (1)317 (25th of August 1901). [2 signatures] |
