An Interest
TO: MAXIMILLIAN STRAUSS
FROM: THE OFFICES OF THE PRINCE
DATE: JULY 6 2010 8:11 PM
SUBJECT: IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY
Dear Mr. Strauss,
This message is in regards to your pending request to form a joint-council research committee involving the LaCroix Foundation Antiquities Department's 2010 project agenda.
Prince LaCroix appreciates Chantry interest in city affairs, particularly those pertaining to scholarly fields. Your persistent personal interest is dually noted. Given the specific and mundane nature of the Department's current activities, however, we feel an outside research partnership would constitute an unnecessary expenditure of Camarilla resources at this time.
The Offices of the Prince graciously declines your request. We simply do not see the need.
Prince LaCroix trusts you will understand this difficult and disappointing decision, and is confident that you and your representatives will abide by it—as you have enjoyed a long history of loyal respect for all Camarilla Court behests.
You are heretofore expected to cease all investigations directed toward Antiquities Department personnel, effective upon receipt of this notice. As an additional note, the Foundation is aware that Chantry agents have been seeking interviews concerning Department activities with certain members of the Los Angeles Primogen. The Prince politely discourages you from this effort.
Consider this an official response.
Prince LaCroix looks forward to continuing his healthy and mutually beneficial relationship with the Los Angeles Chantry. You are invited to submit any future requests to Venture Tower for preliminary review.
Have a very pleasant evening.
Cordially,
JOELLE LEFEVRE
LACROIX FOUNDATION
LOS ANGELES
