Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!

In the evening they went to say good-bye to Bilbo. "Well, if you must go you must," he said. "I am sorry. I shall miss you. It is nice just to know that you are about the place But I am getting very sleepy." Then he gave Frodo his mithril-coat and Sting, forgetting that he had already done so; and he gave him also three books of lore that he had made at various times, written in his spidery hand, and labelled on their red backs: Translations from the Elvish, by B.B.
A little bit later Bilbo gives him his diary, or the Red Book. These other volumes that Bilbo gave him are the accounts of the First Age that Bilbo put together in Rivendell. They are "translated" to the Silmarillion in the same way that the Red Book is "translated" into the Hobbit and LotR.

Hope this helps!
