On a 1969 study visit to the Methodist Archives in London, Dr. Heitzenrater examined the diary of Benjamin Ingham (1712 – 1772), an early associate of John and Charles Wesley. Heitzenrater observed that the Ingham diary contained abbreviated notations identical to those used by the Wesleys. Then he made a significant discovery: the Ingham diary included a key to interpreting the long-unintelligible code. That key allowed scholars to fully read many Ingham and Wesley documents for the first time.
