My Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary (1972), a "British"
dictionary, says about presently:

   at present, now (obs. or Scot. and U.S.): for the time being (obs.):
   at once (obs.): before long: directly, immediately, necessarily.

Probably because I am not a Scottsman, nor an American, I use it to mean 
"before long".
