I heard in the Light Novel, they actually read the letter.

I'm pretty sure it's an actual novel, not a light novel.

Yes, it's much too long to be a light novel. It's at least 1,000 pages long, from what I've heard. In comparison, LNs are typically no more than 200 pages.

They could very reasonably read the letter in the next episode. They were out of time and putting Shun in was definitely the more important element to end this episode on.
