- Letters from Somaia McTeer
- Scope & Content:
-
Letters and cards written by Somaia McTeer to Pat Gordon. Somaia and her husband, Rashid, are Liverpool Muslims. They presented the programme Hidden Voices. 1: Footsteps in the Past, broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 31 Jul 1994. The programme focused on their discovery of Abdullah Quilliam, the founder of the Muslim community in Liverpool.
Somaia's letters relate to research into the life history of Quilliam. They also relate to the Lord Mayor of Liverpool's approval for two ceremonial plaques to go inside and outside the former site of Quilliam's Muslim institute and mosque at Brougham Terrace.
Includes:
- One enclosed photocopy of a map of Liverpool, indicating Liverpool Cathedral and the Quilliam family graves.
- Four poems written by Quilliam: 'To a Child Playing with Toy Bricks', Jun 1895, 'A Muslim Hymn', 6 Apr 1901, 'The Lover's Petition', 20 Mar 1907 and 'Islamic Resignation', undated. The poems have been copied out by hand by Somaia.
