    Starting at case 2 letters or newspaper clippings will appear near the fireplace.

    Simply take and read each one and you will have this at the start of case 4.

    LavindatharYou need the letters to progress the story, so obviously you did

    WarIsComingHomenope, you can check my achievements for this game - I finished the game today and did not get neither letters nor this achievement

    LavindatharThen the achievement is glitched out. The letters are used to progress the story and are automatically placed on the fireplace iirc

    WarIsComingHomeachievement is not glitched - it is just MISSABLE
    the only letter which was on the fireplace in my playthrough - was from Mycroft I think, not from any of the persons I put in jail.

    + you're missing that in 3 cases characters can DIE/SUICIDE before you arrest them, so there will be NO ONE TO WRITE A LETTERS. But In my case only that jew from the garden hung himself. And none criminals from previous cases (2-2-1-3) wrote me any letters at all.

    b0seijuIt popped automatically for me at the start of the fourth case. Probably glitched and not missable.

    ScreenSingerXThis achievement might be glitchy. I'm currently on the last case. All letters have appeared and I have read them all. On the game hub, it says I have 100% for this achievement. Still hasn't unlocked.

    WestinatorXI feel like there are a few factors to this achievement that it depends upon, like deaths and various other things.

    I am following this walkthrough : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLul5qMfT4fQwHxRu7Qjif...

    And I received the achievement at the very start of Chapter 4, like this guide says.
    Looks like choosing certain options means that characters are executed or killed meaning letters cannot be received. I don't believe it's part of the story for the letters, but haven't finished the game yet. However i can see no evidence on online forums to support the ida that it's part of the story to receive them.

    But thumbs up anyway, nice to see this guide confirming things!!

    TinynshortyI played the first 2 cases, then repeated the first case. Only read 1 letter and it popped.
