Mission walkthrough: You have to get to Shady Belle - it's best to steal one of the horses because you have a long way to go. Your task is to find traces that will allow you to find the gang. You have to go to the letter at on the ground floor of the building and read it.

After the cut-scene, three lawmen will invade the property. Crouch and hide behind the wall. When the first of the agents approaches, sneak up behind him and quietly eliminate him. The second guard will stand in front of the fireplace - if you want, you can kill him, but you can also leave the property and leave quickly. When Arthur reaches Lakay, the mission will be completed.

How to get the gold medal in Dear Uncle Tacitus?

• Leave Shady Belle without being detected by the Pinkertons - You don't have to fight the lawmen, if you prefer, you can kill only those who stand in your way. Reach the exit unnoticed and ride your horse to Lakay.
• Complete the mission in less than 8 minutes - If you find the letter quickly, you will have a very large reserve of time and you will be able to make it in time without any problems.
