Re-analysis of a Swift/XRT ToO observation of IGR J01572-7259 in the Magellanic Bridge (=IGR J015712-7259, c.f. Coe et al., 2008, ATel #1882) has enabled us to establish the first soft X-ray spectrum for this 11.6-s X-ray pulsar and suspected high-mass X-ray binary. Observation-ID 00031313001 was taken on December 20, 2008, for an effective exposure time of 1950 s. The 0.5-7 keV spectrum was fit with a power law including a photoelectric absorption component that assumed either Solar abundances or those described by Wilms et al., 2000.
