Nicest, most affirming rejection I've ever received! "You are magnificent and fascinating, and your story sounds like something just crying to be told. I'm sure you'll find the right agent. The only reason I am not requesting the manuscript is that I only take on a few new projects per year and right now I am focusing on other areas, other types of books." He's truly incredible and his clients are lucky to have his representation. True professional and gentleman! Am humbled and grateful.

I appreciate the quick response (it was only for the query letter) and the kind words.
"This sounds very lovely and I think you will do well with it, but in terms of what I am looking for right now for my list, it's not precisely what I'm after, so I'm going to decline."

Guidelines say to send the query only.
"Send us an unadorned, unaccompanied letter as your first step, whether paper or e-mail. If we're interested, we'll e-mail you an invitation to submit additional materials and instructions on how to do so."

Same day polite rejection: "I'm afraid I would not be interested in handling another book covering this ground."

My word processor autocorrected "Ghosh" to "Gosh" in the address and I didn't realize it. This cruel world.

FYI, I mentioned his representation of Delia Owens (Where the Crawdad Sings) which isn't even listed on his fiction list even though that book is huge right now. He did mention that he is looking for that type of book with a science angle (mine didn't have that) in case anyone has lit fic with a science twist.
