Which epistles came out of Paul's early missionary travels?

Paul's early missionary travels produced Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, and Galatians. These letters were written as he traveled from Antioch into Asia Minor and later Greece. Romans was sent to Rome from Corinth with Phoebe, and the others were sent to various churches by courier.

Les teaches that Paul's letters began during his early missionary travels. He left Antioch and went into Asia Minor, to Antioch of Pisidia, Derbe, and Lystra, and later on his second journey traveled to Greece, Athens, and Thessalonica. That began about 40 A.D. after he returned from three years of instruction with the Lord at Mount Sinai. These letters become what we know as Romans, then 1 and 2 Corinthians, and then Galatians. Paul wrote as the Holy Spirit inspired him, firing letters off to various churches by courier. Romans was sent to Rome from Corinth with Phoebe, along with friends like Titus and Timothy. He did not know his writings would become the Canon of Scripture, yet he put them out in the format of first doctrine, then reproof, then correction, and then instruction in righteousness.
