1. Introduction. The recent article [1] gives explicit evaluations for exponential sums of the form S ( a , p α + 1 ) : = ∑ x ∈ q χ ( a x p α + 1 ) where χ is a non-trivial additive character of the finite field q , q = p e odd, and a ∈ * q . In my dissertation [5], in particular in [4], I considered more generally the sums S(a,N) for all factors N of p α + 1 . The aim of the present note is to evaluate S(a,N) in a short way, following [4]. We note that our result is also valid for even q, and the technique used in our proof can also be used to evaluate certain sums of the form ∑ x ∈ q χ ( a x p α + 1 + b x ) .
