When trying to obtain an agent should I mention that I got a personal note from an editor that said for me to take solace in the fact that I was being seriously considered?

Never mention your rejections when querying.

Yep, I agree with Siddow. It may be tempting to mention that near-miss, but let the work stand on its own. If it was being seriously considered by an editor, chances are that agents will find things to like about it, too. Good luck!

I agree. Mentioning this will make you look like an amatuer. I wish I had someone to tell me all these things when I started years ago! =) Good luck and God bless!
