When some time passes, you will be able to visit Evelyn in his cabin in Tall Trees. You'll talk for a while and then Evelyn will ask you to go with him because he wants to show you something.
Evelyn Miller takes John to confront some trappers who have been over-hunting Tall Trees forest.
Follow Evelyn until you come across a deer caught in a trap.
Evelyn will ask you to release the animal, so do it.
Get on your horse and keep going after Evelyn. Eventually you will reach the hunting camp. There are three hunters there.
Evelyn will be knocked out by them, and you'll have to do the same with them.
When you deal with all your opponents, Evelyn will wake up and leave, and this part of the mission will be finished.
A day later, you'll be able to visit Evelyn again. He is busy writing and doesn't want to leave the cabin or eat and drink until his work is completed.
Evelyn Miller has locked himself inside his cabin in order to finish his writing.
Put some food under the door and come back in a while to do it again.
