The editor of the News of the World tabloid e-mailed proprietor James Murdoch in 2008 about a phone-hacking case, saying, "Unfortunately it is as bad as we feared," according to a copy of the correspondence published by Parliament Tuesday.
Murdoch concedes in a letter to lawmakers that he replied to the e-mail but does not admit having read it.
Murdoch is at the center of a scandal over illegal eavesdropping by the newspaper, which he shut down in July in the face of public fury at phone hacking.
