"He turned to a some odd commercial ventures, including the Baird Undersock ‘for soldier’s foot’ and the Speedy Cleaner, a ‘revolutionary soap.’ He even ventured to Trinidad, hoping that the warmer climate would benefit his health and financial state. He started a jam-making business in Port au Prince, but returned home after failing the business failed and he suffered a bout with malaria left him than left him both weakened and demoralized."

is a bit of a mess.

The rest of it could stand a little work also.
