In 2 Corinthians (2 Corinthians 7:8) Paul writes "I see that I hurt you with my letter". Some people think Paul is referring here to his first letter (1Corinthians) some people think this refers to another letter.
There is another letter called 3 Corinthians but most scholars believe this was not written by Paul.
The truth is we don't know if Paul did or did not write a third or fourth letter to the church at Corinth

There is evidence that Paul wrote other letters to the Corinthians that are not included in The Bible. In 1 Corinthians 5:9, he mentions an earlier letter that is now lost. This suggests that Paul had more correspondence with the Corinthians than what is found in the biblical canon.

How many letters did Paul write to Corinth?
In the New Testament, there are two letters or epistles from Paul to the Corinthians, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However, reference within those works suggest the existence of probably two additional letters, written during the same period. Liberal Scholars have looked at these references and many believe that the additional letters are actually part of what we now perceive as the two epistles. In other words, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians are probably composites of four or five original epistles. Conservative Scholars have looked closely at these letters and conclude there were only two surviving letters to be assimilated into our current Bible. They are respectively 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However there is internal evidence within the scriptures of 1 and 2 Corinthians that suggests that two letters were lost. In 1 Cor. 5:9 Paul refers to a "former letter", and in 2 Cor. 2:4 Paul refers to a "sorrowful letter." There actually were four letters and two were lost.

Do you have the original letters of saint paul If so where were they discovered and where are they now?
A:No we do not have the original letters of Saint Paul, and we do not even know whether he wrote other letters that have not survived. Critical scholars have reached a near consensus Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon and Romans, but we only have copies of copies. They say he did not write 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy or Titus. A computer analysis of the letters also suggests that he may not have written 1 Thessalonians and Philippians. Internal analysis suggests that 2 Corinthians may actually be fragments of three or more genuine Pauline epistles, that have been placed together and preserved as a single epistle.
