rune letters are dwarf writing in the Hobbit.
Tolkien wrote the hobbit to entertain his children
It was not designed as a story to teach something. Tolkien disliked allegories and would not use them in his writing. The book was created to entertain and originated out of stories he told his children.

Writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and other stories, and as a professor of English language he translated many Anglo-Saxon texts (such as Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight).
The best thing is to match up the similarities. Both stories have a large tree centered culture in them. And there are matches between the 'queens' of those forest areas.
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit first (in the 1930s, released in 1937). He wrote The Lord of the Rings between 1937 and 1950, and was published in 1954/5; he started work on The Lord of the Rings after The Hobbit was published.He had actually written the stories that make up The Silmarillion even earlier, while recovering in a hospital during world war 1 from combat wounds. But while many parts of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings stories refer to events in The Silmarillion, Tolkien never felt those stories were finished and was always reediting them throughout his life, so he never made a serious attempt to get them published himself.
It first came about as stories that Tolkien told to his children and then decided to write down.
The dwarves' quest is to recover the hoard
Tolkien's hobbit characters can only be found in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Some discussion of them can be found in his History of Middle Earth books, basically they are notes about the writing and creation of Middle Earth.

They are called runes. They are based on the ancient Scandanavian writing system.
