Being in exile (like prison), he would have still been allowed visitors to bring food, clothes, etc. Those who came to see him could have very well carried those letters for him. Additionally, John did NOT die on the island of Patmos, therefore, he could have carried those letters with him when he was finally released from exile. John died in what is now modern-day Turkey as an old man. God bless you.
A:Simply because the Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, it was decided late in the second century that this must have been the apostle John. Whoever this John was, it clearly was not the author of John's Gospel, as the style and the theology are too different. Nevertheless, after the decision to attribute Revelation to the apostle John, a tradition evolved that the apostle John was exiled to Patmos because he miraculously survived all attempts to kill him. It is never explained how it was possible to exile John anywhere, if his enemies were unable to harm him. There is no evidence that the apostle John was ever on the island of Patmos. Revelation 1:1 states that the Book of Revelation was written by a person called John, and Revelation 1:9 says that he wrote from Patmos, without at any stage saying that he had been exiled to the island. So unless there is proof that he was forcibly restrained, it should be assumed that John of Patmos could leave the island whenever he chose, and return at any time he chose.
John did not lapse into spiritual despondency while exiled because he maintained his faith and connection with God through prayer, meditation, and reflection. He found solace and strength in his spiritual beliefs, which sustained him during difficult times in exile. Additionally, John's strong sense of purpose and unwavering devotion to his beliefs helped him maintain a positive outlook despite his circumstances.

No, but once a person was 'exiled' he would most likely die at that place. Most reliable sources indicate that John of the Gospels and John of the 3 letters and Book of Revelation are the same and he was indeed exiled to a tiny Aegean island off the western coast of what is today Turkey under Roman Emperor Domitian's 'stormy and cruel' Christian persecutions:Revelation 1:9 Contemporary English Version (CEV)A Vision of the Risen Lord9 I am John, a follower together with all of you. We suffer because Jesus is our king, but he gives us the strength to endure. I was sent to Patmos Island,[a] because I had preached God's message and had told about Jesus.
