Paul certainly knew how to write and was probably fairly good at it. He wrote at times about how he worked to support himself, not relying on the congregations for support. So it seems most unlikely that he would have paid a scribe to write any part of his letters. Why would he? Also, if he wrote from prison, he would surely have written his letters himself, if only to pass the time. Some later additions to his letters were written by other, anonymous authors, and there are some references that suggest that parts were written by other authors. It seems probable that Paul wrote all of the genuine epistles.

Another answer:

If an epistle was penned by a scribe (Tertius, the scribe of Romans, sends his own greeting in Romans 16:22), Paul would write the salutation himself, as he says in 2 Thessalonians 3:17 - The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write.

Personal references scattered throughout his epistles indicate that Paul's eyes were troublesome to him (Galatians 4:13-15; this was possibly the "thorn in the flesh" of 2 Corinthians 12:7), and this may have adversely impacted his writing. Galatians 6:11 - See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
