The reported parameters for the SWIFT observation of May 16, 01:22 UTC in Atel
#811 are wrong. The observation lasted 385 seconds and the observed count rate
and 0.5-10 keV source flux are 0.19 counts/s and 2E-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1,
respectively. The spectrum is consistent with that of the SWIFT observation of
May 16, 10:49 UTC. The conclusion that the source flux has decayed by a factor
of 10 with respect to that determined by RXTE/PCA a week earlier is unaltered.
