Bankruptcy Filing

Louisville Courier-Journal. 21 Nov 1867.
In November 1867, my 3rd-great-grandfather Guilford D. Read was listed in a petition for bankruptcy. Guilford had a family butcher shop business. A year later, this public notice ran in the Louisville Courier-Journal from the District Court for the District of Kentucky:
Louisville Courier-Journal. 26 Oct 1868.
The notice makes me wonder if there are court records still available on Guilford's bankruptcy filing. According to the National Archives, these records for Kentucky might be at the Atlanta Record Center. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, the Archives has suspended reproduction and digitization services. I would like to try to get a copy of this case file in the future.
