Answer

We don't generally say 'the morning hours'.  Just 'the morning'.  Please do it in the morning generally means tomorrow morning. Please arrange a morning meeting means a meeting held in the morning (rather than the afternoon, or evening). I am leaving on a morning flight.

Answer

It is correct to say "We would appreciate it if you could set up this lesson in the morning hours." but this is not a natural usage. We would normally say "We would appreciate it if you could set up this lesson in the morning."

Answer

2) We would appreciate it if you could set up this meeting in THE morning hours.
