Glad of ...
Today, my foreign friend said this to me, but I am not very sure of its meaning. Can you tell me what it means?
I would be glad of some help.
What did he mean?
Did he mean:
1. I am glad because you have helped me.
OR
2. I am glad because I have helped you.
Additionally, why did he want to use "would" in his sentence?
Thank for your help first.

It means that he would be glad if you would help him. I hope you did. He use 'would' because he was not sure if he would get any help, yet he did not want to ask for help directly.
