You're referring to the text "The Quest of Erebor" of which there are four known versions, three of which are in print. As said above, the last, very condensed, version is in Appendix A. A longer narrative was printed in Unfinished Tales (with descriptions of the variant versions); and yet a third appears in the 2nd Edition of Doug Anderson's "Annotated Hobbit."
