Along the shore of the Flat Iron Lake you will find a man lying down who apparently looks dead. If you approach and hit him, however, you will realize that the man is not yet dead: in fact he will wake up for a few seconds from apparent sleep and will deliver you a letter. The fate of the poor man, however, is already sealed and in fact, after having given you the envelope, he will collapse and die on the beach.
The image below shows the exact point where the man lies.
In this precise point of Red Dead Redemption 2 you will therefore have in your hands the dramatic easter egg dedicated to Bonnie MacFarlane. In fact, reading the letter you will discover that it is titled "Letter to Bonnie MacFarlane" and at first glance it seems to have been written from the divorced husband of the woman.
In the letter, Bonnie's ex-husband, whose name is not mentioned, apologizes to Bonnie for how things went. Apparently the man blames himself, pointing out that things have gotten out of hand and, while realizing it, he has denied the evidence. The husband repeats several times that he and Bonnie are destined to be together and raise children, but unfortunately for him things did not go that way.

Below is the complete text of the letter with its translation:
Dear Miss MacFarlane, I’m sorry. I said it. I’m sorry. You’re right. I do let things get out of control in my head. I always have. I see that but I love you. We are meant to be together. It is our destiny. I know it is. I saw us in a dream, raising kids. You were very happy as my wife and I was proud to be your husband. Dreams don’t lie and neither do I.
I’m heading off to make my fortune and when I come back as a rich man, you’ll see what a fine husband I will make you, and a father to our children. And no, I won’t grow up. On that subject you’re wrong. I’ve got so many things to say to you. I’m going to continue with the writing of this letter later, but believe me when I say, we are destined for a long, happy life together. Even your father will come to believe it and accept me, no matter how humble my birth.
