If there were a way of giving someone "Raise High" without "Seymour: An 
Introduction", I would suggest that.  Still, I suggest "Raise High" as 
Salinger's most hopeful and beautiful and cheering work.  Just look at 
Seymour's journal entries...There is no way you can escape those without 
feeling better.

I would suggest giving him/her "Raise High" anyway, and suggesting 
he/she save "S:AI" until later.
