V. M. Kaspi (McGill/MIT), F. P. Gavriil (McGill) and P. M. Woods (USRA/NSSTC), following the discovery of brief X-ray bursts from the direction of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586 (IAUC 7924) on June 18, 2002, report now on further analysis of the same RXTE/PCA data. We find that the pulsed flux declined monotonically by a factor of 4 over the 15 ks in which the bursts were detected, in concert with the decreasing burst rate over the same interval.
