To start this quest loot the crumpled letter and the key to burned down house from the corpse. The area is guarded by a grave hag (28).
During his travels, Geralt came across a certain letter. As he was picking it up, he could not help but notice it mentioned something about valuables. He decided he would have to be sure to give it a careful read.

Crumpled letter
Janne,
Come back to me, I'm begging you. Each day's more dangerous than the last. There's strange men lurking outside the house. Watching me. Carrying weapons. I'm afraid they know something about our stash of valuables and are waiting for a chance to rob us - or worse.
I remember what you wrote earlier. That you can't abandon your post now, that they owe you back pay, that if you don't wait, the coin's gone for good. But what would you rather be - a rich widower, or a poor husband?
Your Halley
The chest is only a few steps away, next to the ruins of the burned-down house.
We shall never know if Janne preferred being a rich widower to being a poor husband, or if Halley's letter simply never reached him. Either way, the poor woman died, though the stash of which she wrote remained. Geralt made sure it found a good home.
