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.

were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
