For a set of observables, it is shown how the solution of a master equation can approximate the solution of the generalized master quation at long times, but with an aproximate initial slip. The slip phenomena is discussed theoretically and then made more concrete by the exact and approximate solution of a simple but realistic system, namely the initial time dependence for the relaxation of a nuclear spin.
