In 1754 he lived in Paris on rue des Fossés-Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois.

In 1767, he was said to be a sworn writer expert and a former professor of the Royal Academy of Writing . In 1776 he was already a writer in the king's cabinet, and in 1780 he was appointed First Secretary of the King 's Cabinet . In 1779, he was a founding member of the Academic Writing Office and was still a member in 1789 , the year of his death.
