is the sentance: I should have wrote you sooner.  correct?

Have or has indicates a perfect tense, requiring the past participle.  Written is the form needed here.

Hi,

A small further comment.

 I should have written you sooner. Sounds like American English to me.

 I should have written to you sooner. British English.
