For your enjoyment:

This is one of the longest sections I've recorded, but I very much wanted to do it.

Although my actual French is not so good, many of the place names are quite familiar to me, and I've been to many of them, St. Marc, especially and up through the Artibonite Regretfully, I never made it to Jeremie, a long journey south, but once up to Port-de-Paix, a rather desolate drive, and to Cape Hatien, generally called just O Cap. Anyway, I learned a lot of good history with this, and I might agree with the author at the end, "The event leads one to regret that Toussaint's ambition was not superior to his loyalty to France."

Here is Section 23 for PL! A very long section to work on.
I did my best with the French.

Section 23 needs a few fixes.

At 10:40 there is a strange sound that needs to be cut out.

At 10:45-11:10, you made a mistake and restarted this sentence. I am including the sentence and your marking of the mistake for what needs to be clipped out.

26:15-:28 is the same as the above.

Great job on the French!
