When Elrond read the moon letters on Thorin's map, Bilbo and the dwarves learned important details about the secret entrance to the Lonely Mountain. The letters revealed that the door could only be opened at sunset on Durin's Day when the last light of the setting sun would shine upon the keyhole. This knowledge was crucial for their quest to reclaim their homeland from Smaug the dragon. It highlighted the significance of timing and the importance of ancient lore in their journey.

Why isn't there much to say about the Last Homely House in the 'The Hobbit'?

Rivendell was not central to the story of Bilbo and the Dwarves and the quest for Erebor. Elrond played a minor role in that he deciphered the moon letters but was not part of the quest. Rivendell was a place of refuge and contemplation, not a camp for war. Elrond spent most of the third age being a councilor not a hero.
