Replying to a reply
Hello!
I wrote to a good American friend to offer him a particular help. A few days later, he wrote me a beautiful answer, saying that he would contact me if he needed it.
Now, I just want to let him know that I have received his answer, but I'm not sure how should I answer his answer. I think I would simply write:
Dear M.,
I'm glad to hear from you!
Feel free to contact me anytime.
All the best,
C.

Grammatically, is my answer correct?
Culturally, would it be a kind but succinct answer?
Would that imply that he does not need to answer me again? Maybe I do not need to answer him, but I was so happy to hear from him that I would like to express it (and I think that would be important to him too).
Thank you!

That wording is fine. I would write "any time" not "anytime". I would go so far as to say that "anytime" is incorrect in BrE, but I can't find much evidence in dictionaries or elsewhere to support this view.
