This article aims to highlight ways that philology can contribute with social history studies. As an example, we present two letters from the beginning of the 20th century written by patients admitted at the Pinel Asylum, in São Paulo. We observe how philological methodologies could lead us to different historical evidences revealed in those letters and how to reflect about the concepts and practices of eugenics in Brazil. By that time, this philosophy was being widely spread among global scientific communities. This work also presents a semi diplomatic transcription of those letters and part of the patients' records. Philology deals with the document and its writing. In this sense, it discusses how to approach material culture as a source for historical knowledge. We mainly want to contribute with the restricted source of philological treated documents for researches of other fields interested in eugenics in Brazil.
