So, I consulted randolphcollege.edu and found this:
"Twenty-five hundred years ago, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripedes, and Aristophanes wrote their plays in verse for an annual five- or six-day spring festival of dramatic competition called the Great (or City) Dionysia and dedicated to Dionysus. Three tragedians competed at the festival, each presenting three tragedies and a satyr play* (a tetralogy) over the course of a day; five comedians each presented one play on the last day of the festival.

There was no record seen by Wilmot, to show that Shakespeare read a book, let alone write a letter.
Explanation:
James Wilmot, a reverend and literary scholar came up with an idea in 1781 that Shakespeare was not Shakespeare. He went to the house that William Shakespeare lived during his lifetime, and went through all the libraries in his Stratford residence and searched for correspondence.
There was no record seen by Wilmot, to show that Shakespeare read a book, let alone write a letter. He did not find Shakespeare signatures on the bottom of the old letters that were seen. He also stated that there was no property, belonging to Shakespeare, that was written on the on the endpapers of a Bible.
James Wilmot concluded that the plays of Shakespeare could not have been written by someone who did not leave an literary paper trail behind him.
