The team is meeting in Albany, near a red house outside of the restricted zone. Watch out for the British troops that are patrolling, and don’t give them any guff. The meeting is on the southern portion of the land, farther east than the docks.
Once you arrive, you get your next assignment.

There aren’t many guards on the way into Albany from this direction. Jump off the cliff and sneak in from the water. Hide in the corn while watching for patrollers; either eliminate them covertly or move quietly toward the waypoint when the guards are walking toward the beach.
You learn several important things when you get to the waypoint, but you must hurry afterward to prevent problems.
Kill the Messenger
No one asks that you get this mission done quietly, so you can stir things up! Sprint after the messenger as he races up the hill. Move along the edges of the path to avoid a couple groups of guards that try to halt you, and keep your eyes on the target.
Arm your pistols and shoot the messenger in the back while he’s running. He’ll stumble, giving you time to catch up and either dispatch him with your blades or shoot him again. Plenty of soldiers arrive to stop you, but a good sword fight isn’t a downside of this plan. It’s a fringe benefit.
Locate James Wardrop
Optional: Kill Wardrop with an air assassination
James Wardrop is inside the fort atop the hill. Don’t worry about finding him until you get inside. To do that, go toward the right side of the fort. Several long jumps and a rope swing get you to the back side of the compound. Use the scaffolding there to climb the walls, and pull the guard off of his position before you reach the summit.
Hide in a hay cart and use Eagle Vision to scan the open yard inside the fort. Wardrop isn’t too hard to find, as he shows up in yellow. Although there are plenty of soldiers around, you don’t need complete stealth to get this done, so speed is going to be a superior ally.
Wait until Wardrop walks toward the back of the fort. Sprint along the upper parapets and then leap onto him for an aerial assassination that completes your goal and grabs the extra objective. The guards won’t have more than a moment to react!
Escape the Area and Hide
There are many foes around here, and you can’t take on the whole lot of them (well, shouldn’t is probably a better word). Either way, it’s time to go. Run toward the waterline and avoid fighting unless you want the practice or the fun. You can drop your Wanted status simply by heading out of town. Do this until the guards lose interest and then return to the ship.
This ends the memory.
Your next one begins in Sleepy Hollow, a quiet town along the southern edge of the map. Travel there after looting the incredible piles of goodies that are strewn around Albany. Now that the guards aren’t on alert, you won’t have any problems picking things up.
There is some good fox hunting to be had, too, if you’re looking for pelts. Look outside the town but close to the walls.
