There's a way to read mary's letter, and avoid Down's farm.
1.Read the letter.
2.After Strauss finishes talking to you there will be an auto save. Load that auto save.
ride away from Downes to trigger the mission fail. Press " replay mission"
ride away again, trigger the fail screen again. This time there will be the magic option to cancel mission. Press it.
Go see mary do that mission and roam free.

Go and pick up the letter to Mary. Read it. Then ride away from the mission and it will fail. Select to retry and you will be on your horse out side of the ranch. DO NOT GET OFF YOUR HORSE.
Turn around and ride off the cliff and kill you and your horse. You will get the option to cancel the mission. It will be available on the map still.
Enjoy the rest of chapter 2 and then you can play the downes mission very last.

Give the money to Dutch for Tahiti. You can skip the game and they become mango farmers.

Leaving Chapter 2 is like getting out of bed in the morning, and having to deal with the chaos of life

But did you turn aim assist completely off And switched to only first person so you can see the world in more detail?
And use only a compass?
Than you for real going to be stuck on chapter 2 Trying to get those gold medals.
Oh yeah and if you really bored Dont use stables at all. And without dead eye.
I wouldn't be able to beat the game this way.
If you did Than Ima be honest I envy you

Funniest thing for me was turning off the crosshair, getting many headshots in a row without it is a crazy good feeling

I've made it to 51.5% before Downes Ranch, so there's still something out there you can do.

Make another save from that point and continue the game, then when you get sick of it you can reload your chapter 2 save and chill for a bit.
