His Bible, a translation into Arabic published by a missionary society, which has notations in Arabic by Omar, is part of the rare books collection at Davidson College.[8] Sa'id was also the author of a letter, dated 1819, addressed to James Owen's brother, Major John Owen, written in Arabic and containing numerous Quranic references (including from the above-mentioned Surat Al-Mulk), which also includes several geometric symbols and shapes which point to its possible esoteric intentions.[9] This letter, currently housed in Andover Theological Seminary, is reprinted in Allen Austin's African Muslims in Antebellum America: A Sourcebook. "Autobiography of Omar ibn Sa'id, Slave in North Carolina, 1831". A Muslim American Slave: The Life of Omar Ibn Said.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7826.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7826.txt
