How to use A Letter from the Fire Mages
A Letter from the Fire Mages is a Chapter 1 Old Camp side quest tied to Diego. Use it when you need the early letter route, the right NPC hand-off, and a save check before you advance Old Camp business.
Match the journal name, check the starter and route for Chapter 1, then save before a turn-in that changes faction, chapter, or reward state. Review Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4 first.
Do not rush the A Letter from the Fire Mages turn-in if Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4 is attached.

Match the journal title first, then follow Diego and Old Camp links before wandering. The quest is early, but it can still overlap with camp admission and Fire Mage context, so avoid rushing the hand-in if you are comparing faction routes.
Before The Hand-In
This is an early letter route, but it still sits inside Old Camp progress. If you are comparing factions or trainer access, save first, check Chapter 1, then turn it in only when Old Camp is the route you want.
