Give me a day to wander through Letters for other references to trolls and I'll get back to you. The letter I quoted was from 1953 if I recall, so it was written almost concurrently or just after the Appendices. Have you looked at Peoples of Middle Earth re: trolls? That HoME volume includes materials edited out of the appendices due to lack of room, as well as earlier versions of what was published.
