Doubt about tenses

[jhor]

When replying to an email that I was sent last week, should I say "I was glad to hear from you"or "I am glad to hear from you". When should use either of them?

[Alan]

If you refer to something in the past, then you use the past. I was glad (at that time) to hear from you.
