#4 again, I want something to write with = is more common.

1. I want something for writing;any pen or pencil will be OK.
2. I want something for writing with;any pen or pencil will be OK.
3.I want something for writing.
4. I want something for writing with.
Are #2 and #4 also grammatical?
Are the four sentences all grammatical?
