After my first attempt at sending out my latest novel, the agent’s letter came back: 
So, how many agents should I send my MS to? Am I Capable of receiving more rejection letters?
Hell, yeah, I am.
Kathryn Stockett’s book, The Help, was rejected 60 times.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell was rejected 38 times before it was published.
Carrie by Stephen King was rejected 30 times before it was published.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle was rejected 26 times before it was published.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was rejected 12 times and J. K. Rowling was told “not to quit her day job.”
Lord of the Flies by William Golding was rejected 20 times before it was published.
Not giving up, nope, not giving up.
‘Cause I got High Hopes (excerpt)
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
‘stead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

For one, that’s a heck of a rejection letter. While I’m sure it sucks to be told no, at least that person told you some good things too… not just “Thanks for your interest in our agency but no thanks.”
I wish you luck as you continue your efforts.
