From your side

Hi,

I wrote a letter starting with 'I'm happy to hear from your side'.

'I'm happy to hear from your side of the story'. (I like hearing the alternative views on the same story.)
'I'm happy to hear from your side of the family'. (We are related, but not close relatives. I like to hear about what's going on in other parts of the extended family.)

Do you perhaps mean "I'm happy to hear from you"?

I'd say 'no'. It doesn't sound right to me at all.

Your original sentence doesn't work in this context, nor in any other I can think of.

I'm happy to hear from you. is just fine.
