It would be they reported the victory by letters
I posted about this once before.
In the singular, "littera" means a letter of the alphabet, such as a, b, c, etc.
In the plural, "litterae" (or whatever case you'd be using) can mean letters of the alphabet or it can mean a letter (one epistle).
So the interpretation is fuzzy.
