The aorist may refer to the whole of the preceding letter, or to the concluding verses which follow. In either case it is probably an instance of the epistolary aorist, by which the writer puts himself at the time when his correspondent is reading his letter. To the correspondent, I write has changed itself into I wrote. Similarly the Lat. scripsi. Ἔπεμψα Isent is used in the same way. See Acts 23:30; Philemon 2:28; Colossians 4:8; Philemon 1:11. [source]
