the letter badly written

There were two letters on the desk. One had been written well and the other had not.

1-I took the badly written letter.
2-I took the letter badly written.
3-I took the letter written badly.

I think '1' is definitely acceptable in this context. How about '2' and '3'?

Gratefully,
Navi.

navitasan How about '2' and '3'? They are just barely possible. An editor would ask for changes if you wrote those, especially 2, which seems the worse.
