Regina looks young and innocent in this episode (in the flashbacks) so I assumed that the training scenes took place between engagement to Snow’s father and pushing Mummy through the looking glass. That way the letter makes sense.
Rule #1 for this show: don’t overanalyse the small stuff.

Rumple didn’t start training Regina until after she’d pushed Cora through the looking glass though. Unless I’m mis-remembering?

You’re not. Regina turns around and decides to stay and learn magic.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"1) Rumple gave Regina the mirror to send Cora to Wonderland. So he always knew where she was. Sending the letter to her probably wouldn’t have been a problem.
2) I think Rumple was just so angry with Cora for dishonoring their agreement and its worse because they had a deep relationship that failed so he was hurt and angry + plus more angry because nobody breaks a deal with Rumple. His anger for Cora probably just drove him to write the letter to Cora to upset her. That he wins because she tried to screw him out of the deal and he found her first born regardless of her deceit.
3) I don’t think Cora tried to get in touch with Zelena during her training. Cora had been stuck in Wonderland and needed to imprison the mad hatter to find a way to get back to her land. I don’t even know if Cora remembers Zelena. Maybe on top of ripping out her own heart so that she won’t feel pain she also took a memory forgetting potion like Regina.
but then why have regina that letter. She said she read it during training. She did go to WL to get her father out, maybe she get the letter by training when her mother visisted her and took Henry with her. That was always missing and could fit.
Regina didn’t said she read the letter during training, she said she read the letter in times of solace, etc. which means she discovered when she was already the Evil Queen, but what’s tricky is that let’s say she find the letter in Cora’s crypt (after she died last season) when Rumple gave Cora this letter if this timeline right?
I may be the only one, but I still believe that the letter is about Regina. I think this whole thing is a fake out. We saw first hand that Rumpel just thought of Zelena as a fly to be played with, and then swatted away. He really showed no interest in her due to her annoyingly obsessive behavior. He had this attitude toward her like “You’re fun and all, but I already have a child to find and raise. Don’t need another one. Shoo.”
So, I’m thinking that this letter was sent to Cora before Rumpel knew that Regina wasn’t Cora’s first born. Thus, there will be a revelation when Rumpel reveals to Regina that the letter really was all about her. Of course she’ll find her inner strength, blah blah.
Anyone else think so?
oh i definitely think so, but i also think it was just a ploy by rumple that he accidentally dropped during training, and regina ccidentally found and it gave her strength to be the best villain she could be now isnt that sweet.
Magic always comes with a price, so I pay with visa.
Timeline answers:
In “We are Both,” Regina tries to run away before the wedding. It’s said that the wedding is in 2 days’ time when Cora vines her, according to Cora. She goes to her father the next day, as they say the wedding is “tomorrow.” She summons Rumple that night. The day of the wedding, she pushes Cora through the looking glass into Wonderland. Presumably she begins her training later that day when she’s riding away, and tries to give Rumple back his magic book. That’s when he asks her how it felt to do magic.
So ALL the training with Rumple is after Cora goes to Wonderland. No way around it.
That does make the letter confusing…but Rumple DOES occasionally like to gloat, especially with people who have badly hurt him.

But that’s the thing. It doesn’t say that this letter was sent while Regina was being trained. “Finding” someone doesn’t mean actually meeting them.
It could have been that Rumpel finally discovered Regina’s location, and decided to gloat about it to Cora. He could have sensed the magical power in Regina, before their meeting even occurred.
Then, Regina possibly found Rumpel’s letter to Cora after she’d “killed” her. This perhaps, softened her resolve, and made her strive more toward magic, knowing that Rumpel admired what she could be.
I don’t think we have any reason to believe that Regina was in hiding from Rumple…Cora didn’t need to hide her, as she’d gotten out of the contract (and possibly done some further mischief we don’t know about to Rumple–there still feels like some missing history). And let’s see…Cora was living a rather public life as Prince Henry’s wife (and thus we can infer a princess in her own right). Oh, and she marries Regina off, again, rather publicly, to a KING.
Rumple was probably quite aware of all this. Keenly aware. Intensely aware.
But he was clearly not aware of Zelena until he found her in Regina’s chambers.
