OK. It looks like that (without vocalization, which is not written):
y-ni k-r-si (or: k-r-mi) ha-s-h-r-si (or:ha-m-h-r-si, or: ha-m-h-ri)
Just replace dashes with any vowels and that's it!
Please, let me know if this resembles any Turkish words (the first one could be yeni, but how it was written in Ottoman times?)
The style of writing can suggest that the text is not Persian, then maybe Turkish...

Thank you! It is Turkish. I guess, at least 60-70% sure of it, it says "yenikaresi hemsehrisi", which means "man from Yenikaresi". I know Karesi was a province name in that period, and Yenikaresi means "New Karesi", which I dont know where was located, or if still exists with this name.
