At the earliest, I will be with you tomorrow morning.

Lalda - do you have a dictionary?

And also, it would nice if sometime you could acknowledge the replies you are getting.

"at the earliest" can have at least two meanings that I can think of depending on context.

1) I will be there at seven at the earliest. (In this context it means that I will not arrive before seven)

2) Please respond at the earliest time possible. (In this context it means that I would like a response as soon as possible)

I hope this helps, ;-)
