Almost spot on, but remove the second "the" so it reads, "I reported the summary of yesterday's meeting at today's morning meeting." An even better way to say it would be, "I reported the summary of yesterday's meeting at the meeting this morning."

I'd say: 'I reported a summary of yesterday's meeting this morning.'

@slyjester Thanks. Can I change "of" to "about"?

@4000 that wouldn't be advisable. You don't have a summary about something, you have a summary of something. "about" in this case would be an elaboration -- like, it would be extra information about a subject. Summaries don't do that. Instead, they extract essential information about something and present a shortened version. Therefore, your summary would be of something.

@slyjester Thank you for your reply. But, it's difficult for me to understand.
