rejection slip

Everything I wrote bounced back with a printed rejection slip.

One of these pluggers declares he blesses the rejection slip because it "eliminates so many quitters."

On an invaluable rejection-slip prepared by a national magazine, examples are given of "What we want and don't want."

The rejection slip was so tactfully worded that he felt kindly toward the editor.

The trouble, he complains, is that with every printed rejection slip there comes a word of sincere encouragement from the editor.
