Rejection after 53 days... BUT! In the e-mail there was no classic form letter rejection, but rather explanation which I am grateful for, even though I would be happy if it had come sooner...

So if you sent him query recently, you can query another agent from this agency, even though on their website they state that you have to submit only to one agent!
