R. J. Rudy, R. W. Russell, and D. K. Lynch, Aerospace Corporation, report on 0.8-5.0-micron spectroscopy of this nova (cf. IAUC 8500, 8501) obtained on Apr. 17 with the Infrared Telescope Facility (+ SpeX). In addition to the emission features of hydrogen, V5115 Sgr showed the strong, fluorescently excited lines of O I that are typical of a nova shortly after outburst, along with many lines of N I, but no prominent features from C I. Widths (FWHM) for the stronger emission were 3000 km/s. Fe II emission was present but there was no evidence of the CO bands at 2.3 and 4.6 microns or thermal emission from dust. The reddening derived from the O I lines was E(B-V) = 0.53.
