The optical-infrared energy distribution of the OBe star HDE 245770, the optical counterpart of the transient X-ray source A 0535 + 26, is derived by using infrared observations made in the period from November 1976 to March 1977 and UBV photometry obtained in November 1976. An infrared excess is evident with flux density proportional to about the 0.6 power of frequency. The excess is explained in terms of thermal free-free emission from an ionized gaseous envelope around the OBe star. By assuming a matter outflow through the envelope with uniform velocity of a few hundred km/s, a value of about 1 millionth of a solar mass per year is obtained for the mass-loss rate in HDE 245770.
