The authors obtain an asymptotic expansion of the integral \(\frac{1}{\Gamma (q+1)}\int^{\infty}_{0}\frac{t^ qdt}{1+e^{t-x}}\) by an incomplete gamma function and elementary terms uniformly for large positive values of x and q. The result unifies four different cases considered earlier by \textit{H.-J. Schell} [Z. Anal. Anwend. 6, 421-438 (1987; Zbl 0638.41029)].
