For the handkerchief task, you need to go and get the higher of the EITC in the cave in tortuga (Hired Gun or Mercenary).
EITC soilders are alwasy dressed in black, and i've only ever found them in the various caves on certain islands. (Tortuga is as said in above post, port royal has some deep in jungles/caves, remember there are more then one entrance to caves, on port royal, theres one left, one middle(if i remember right) and one far right, they are deep and have other entrances with in)
As far as defeating them, I done this 3 times, and always alone, I get some elixir potions and put them in f4 weapon slot, to help me further (dont leave taking this till last sec red bar health, as u will probs die before u get helath benefit)
It ia also good to remember that if you dont run and eventually get defeated, if u run back to that character and fight again, his health level stays as when u left off (as long as no one else fights them in the meantime).
It took me 3 deaths to kill mercenary and 2 on the hired gun lvl ones.
I havent yet had a task to fight EITC soldiers for any other task yet, but i spose for those when any EITC soldier will do, the grunts are probably ok to, and probs best chance to defeat in one go, especially with a couple of potions in hand
